In my experience of being a developer and building my own idea I actually found there were occasions when my inbuilt technical idealism caused me to make some wrong decisions on my product. I found it quite difficult to make product decisions independently of technical ones. I've had some really good bosses who couldn't code, though there is certainly a skill in winning over devs when you're not a programmer yourself. There are advantages to being a non-technical founder, if you're able to bring the right techies on board.
