this is true. its also the case that the various 'business' people have very different goals, very different terminology, and a much squishier sense of success.

this is true. its also the case that the various 'business' people have very different goals, very different terminology, and a much squishier sense of success. alot of the 'business' conversation is carried out largely in subtext. you can learn quite a bit about the internal machinery of the company where you work by just learning to read that. there _is_ quite a bit of useless sleeze on the business side. but to believe all of it is, and that somehow you have a better view of inter organization struggle and market response than all of those who do it full time is naive and counterproductive.
