I'm pleased with how many replies here acknowledge that business and marketing is a legitimate domain of expertise. I was expecting HN, which skews "young programmer" demographic, to just call it all BS. It's not, it is just another area of important expertise.

Looking at the comments here it seems like people are pulled into these meetings unwillingly and subjected to the managerial nitty-gritty, and expected to participate, but it's a one-way street because the management is never subjected to the technical side of things. I think that's where the sentiment is coming from.
