In my anecdotal experience non-tech founders are quite arrogant. They exhibit a Randian belief that they are capable of doing everything better than the peons who work for them, and like to dictate to others, especially technical folks, how things should be done. They tend to ignore advice from technical folks. I don't know. Maybe only two out of the ten I've worked with have not cared and have actually listened to the advice of the techies. In one case, the techies forced them to rewrite everything in a new language for no real reason, and blamed a lot of shortcommings of the old system on the language when it was really a problem of poor implementation. In the 2nd case everything worked out great, and that founder's business is really taking off, traffic still nearly doubling every year. His stuff is running off a single WordPress server.
