And yet it does. At least, at tech companies.
> We also believe, that non-tech folks cannot understand what we try to explain. I also very often observe that many engineers have no idea of basic concepts that are required to run a business (and often, no interest to learn about them).
That's a very good point. However, my observation over the years is that great engineers can pick up business concepts (it's often a requirement to graduate anyways) but non-technical managers can't generally master engineering to the same degree.
