Business people usually think techos as commodity workers: Buy a geek like you would a house cleaner.

Good discussion on that topic: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38402515

It's really weird given how many tech founders have shown the value of tech talent by creating billion dollar companies. Why can't they see it?

Then again look in a mirror and techos tend to believe business people are total trash. Yes, many executives and salespeople are useless manglement and pointy-haired-bosses (just like there are useless engineers). But don't miss the valuable management gems. Techos: don't make the same mistakes as described about the non-techs in the vid by ignoring a 10x engineer. There are 10x non-techs too.
