I really don't see the need to stereotype, and even less to call names.
Personally, I have worked as a software developer, and I do also have an MBA, and I strongly believe that my broad/diverse education allows me to better interface with people from different backgrounds within a work environment.
Are there ways to obtain broad skills (technical, management, etc.) which are more time effective, cost effective, etc.? Maybe, maybe not. Each person is free to make their own choice.
However, back to the article's point, if Google's 20% is dying down it is ultimately due to Larry Page, who is clearly a technical guy, doesn't have an MBA (1) and most likely is seen as a "doer".
(1) According to wikipedia, he actually received an honorary MBA for his entrepreneurial spirit.

- Radix_ 13y agoThe two following comments are spammy but the only real issue with jmduke's comment was the form. Had it been: >You could also say: "Personally, I like to understand problems, rather than grok them." It would have gotten the point across that the grandparent's comment was an unfair dig at a style of speech rather than the content of that speech.
- dylangs1030 13y agoI'm glad you made this comment. It's disheartening that so many people in this community lash out at MBAs like they're viral scum. Stereotyping never solves anything.
