Sounds to me like Jason Gordon gets it.

There is far more to running a business than being able to code. And there is far more to the business world than software.

Good ideas generally come from people working at stuff they enjoy and/or do for a living. That's pretty obvious, which is why, generally, software ideas come from people who can write software.

But you can't do everything in your company. So being able to "write code" is no more or less important than being able to "do accounting", or being able to "operate a forklift", or being able to "perform arthroscopic surgery".

A true entrepreneur can look at any operation and determine how to assemble the parts to make the business model work.
