"I can't stand this bashing of business people 360 degrees."
Weird, because you just explained why they can't successfully do anything.
As I said, your defense was too powerful; in defending your position, you blew it up.

Go back reading the middle part where I explain the problem is in the business, not in the tech.
But hey, I am sure you guys can keep producing consumer apps till you will see a nice margin drop due to market saturation. Zinga teaches us all.
But you know what's the most difficult thing? The business. Oh yeah. I can code an app from scratch, but I still have to convince people to use it. I still have to plan the financials (by the way, how do start up plans look like? Guess-working?). I still have to market it. I still have to make profits.
Which brings me to the point. I can't stand this bashing of business people 360 degrees. There are bad business people as there are bad developers. There is bad culture in start ups ("you non technical piece of ...") as there is in business. It's all a matter of degrees and looking around.
