I don't know – I once was a marketing Dev. And I like to think that I'm good. In that case how they found a dev team for marketing was to go trolling for the best Devs from their previous companies (the marketing team being very deep in start up experience). That's how they found me, that's how they found my coworkers and I like to think that we were the best engineers in that company. Or at least the most pragmatic, and profitable. Anyhow - every single company that isn't founder by a coder has this problem, and many of them make it past it somehow. --- I would say that there were political problems in this company, and if wouldn't do it this way myself. For unclear reasons, engineering a policy was to hire only c coders in 2003. And there was a need for full fledge ecommerce site - for which they were quoting multiyear lead times. Which is why marketing just built it. And a bunch of other stuff.
