Thanks for clarifying. I mistakenly assumed you were referring to "any non technical person with an idea (who can't build it himself),"
...as opposed to jerks who overvalue their contribution, thinking everyone else owes them something for just coming up with the idea.
In general, I think the bias flows both ways. Some developers think ideas are worthless and that idea guys/business and marketing folks contribution is somehow worth significantly less than a developers contribution. Other "idea guys" think their idea gives them the keys to the kingdom.
You really need both to succeed.
In reality, there are lots of ways for both sides to make significant contributions to bringing ideas to life, outside of writing the actual code or ideation.
It takes a village...
I think we were both coming from opposite perspectives, but share similar views. I was "lashing out" against the guys who undervalue business guy contributions, and you were against the guys who undervalue the developers contribution...
I just heard on a podcast that, "Every Mark Needs their Sheryl"
