I think the list is helpful and the comments suggesting that non-technical folks have no chance to hire good hackers seems to be contradicted by facts. FedEx and Walmart have amazing technical systems and have become industry leaders because of them, but both were founded and grown by business folks.

Good sales people, ops folks, and hackers are always going to be hard to find.
