I'm a developer and this guy is completely incorrect. I am technical, I can tell you the make up of a TCP packet and can tell you how many disk reads a query will take from a database, but that doesn't mean I want to go every meeting and answer business emails. If I had to to make sure my idea was being made, I would, but it would drive me insane. I am passionate about building things, in particular software, and I don't like meetings, emails etc. Without the business nontechnical co founders,I would rethink doing start ups. To suggest that only technical people add value is absurd, and I'm kinda upset that someone would actually make a post like that. This brings about a bigger problem though; elitism in the technical world. "Oh He's just a doctor, I'm an engineer" "Oh he is just another business person, he doesn't know what he is talking about". I hear these phrases everyday and you know what, It drives me nuts. Everyone has their place in this world, business people included. When you realize that business people are answering thousands of email to allow you to do what you love (coding), you may eventually see the value that they add.
