I have been in a situation where this was the case: myself and another guy were the devs, and the non-programmer was the public face of the company: he did customer service, marketing, PR, specs, QA, research -- pretty much anything that we didn't have time to do. Once we got up to a significant amount of users he became overwhelmed so we hired more business people. OR you could use that time to learn how to program.
It's great to know that someone else has experienced this, and hopefully I'll have the same problem you're business partner did! Sometimes its really frustrating and downcasting to feel less valuable than my partners because I can't be constantly programming. Thanks for sharing this.
