I appreciate and empathize with the perspective presented in this post, but I can't help but feel that an inherently negative stereotype is being created merely through language with the use of "business guys." If the author means very specifically "graduates of MBA programs who primarily focus on business development, partnerships and sales," that's one thing. But, I suspect, instead, there's an inherent tribalism, an "us vs. them" attitude, that anyone who doesn't write code is grouped into this negative "other." In a technology startup ecosystem, there are marketers, business development folks, product people, operations specialists, and experts, both technical and non-technical of every stripe. Many of those are as wary of one another or more so depending on their backgrounds and experience as software engineers are portrayed as being to anyone who doesn't share their specific job function. This doesn't strike me as a productive way to have a conversation about biases/fears between different roles. That said, it's not an easy topic to tackle. Rather than criticizing, I should probably contribute something of my own on the topic, as I've been neglecting my blog horribly.
