"MBAs that are working on something more complex than yet another social network will immediately look for an engineer."

Put bluntly, I think that both Groupon and Zappos started as glorified Wordpress installs.

I don't think that the average complexity for business programs is going to change--at their core, most all of them have the business proposition "Take my X so I can get Y in time Z". Everything else is window dressing.

Has anyone ever considered groupon as a technical challenge? Most of their personnel were salesmen, were they not?
