This is backwards for Hacker News and I'm worried that there are new people here that might not see this for what it is: fixed mindset "you wouldn't understand business" indoctrination. He's not even really bothering to sell it to us, he started the article with a short narrative with himself in a position of confident authority speaking to the low-status, highly-emotional babyish developer who he closes down by condescending with a high-status signal of "You really want to know?" with trademark eyebrow raises. This whole site, at least until a couple of years ago, was a monument to the idea that Hackers could build and execute technology businesses better than many non-technical business people. This "King" fellow that has decided to come in and condescend us by telling us something that we probably understand on a far deeper level than him: the whole system. >> These two worlds, in a startup, are intertwined yet run parallel. You are conflating parallel and intertwined which shows serious misunderstanding. It's by having people that deeply understand both worlds that you are able to create superior products. The world is intertwined! A Hacker is somebody that manipulates systems technical or social; and your separation of the areas is simply an artifact of a broken culture that will cause problems for yourself and others. Never dictate from a position of ignorance. Edit; There are lots of technical people that understand business, and very few business people that understand technology. It would be far more helpful if you were able to explain the difference between high-leverage technology people and low-leverage technology people to business guys; I suspect this is a frame which might at least show them the utility afforded if they learn how to think about technology.
