You seem to be implying that really good devs are just lying around not being used whereas great PR guys and execs are the real value. I don't buy it.

I'm not really sure how you got that from the words I wrote. There's tons of work in addition to the tech which leads to a success story like Uber. That doesn't imply that the tech doesn't matter, just that other stuff does also.

The evidence of PR being effective is right there if you think about it.

The evidence of good tech being important is at your finger tips.
