(Strangely, I tried these same searches on searchyc.com, and it failed to do anything useful with the quotes, so it came back with a lot of irrelevant crap. It used to work...I'm pretty sure of it.)

Summary: Hackers don't think very highly of "business guys" or "idea guys". "Business guys" and "idea guys" think hackers are interchange-able cogs. If your business or idea guy doesn't also bring "money guy" to the table, you're better off without him.
