While none of them should conduct software engineering tasks and better leave that work to professionals, it certainly is good to understand how the process works, and how to value the struggles of plugging things together to create something out of nothing. That being said, many companies have hierarchies of clueless managers between the CEO and the engineering team. Having someone at the helm who understands the good-fast-cheap triangle [1] in tech driven companies is from my point of view a good thing. This doesn't imply that every software engineer can be a CEO. It requires a lot of other (soft) skills to do this job.
