If there's one thing worse than clueless execs that don't understand what programmers do, it's clueless ego-maniacal execs that try to "educate" the rest of the world about what programmers do. Forget about the "probably". Most people on HN would want to avoid an employer like that like the plague. Most employers can be taught about how to get the best out of their developers, and most of the time all it takes is programmers to open their mouths instead of bitching on HN or proggit. But with an ego like mr. McDonald, who shows so little understanding about what it means to be a programmer but is totally convinced he knows it all, I wouldn't bother trying.
