There is nothing worse than being in a relationship where you do all the work, give it to someone else, and they reap all the rewards. This happens, time and again - not just in our industry, but in the broader world at large as well. In some cases it called "abuse", in other cases its "just normal business behaviour".
But I've started to notice more and more that there are big divides between "good developers" and "business people" and that these big divides are, fundamentally, prejudiced. "He is a tech guy, he doesn't 'do' business", or "that person is a business 'type', they don't 'do' tech" = prejudice, intolerance, and bigotry, plain and simple. It works both ways - "we tech people" do it, and "so do they".
Its got to stop. In fact the only time something positive ever gets done in society is when this prejudice is actively thwarted from taking over the social conditions in which one is working.
