Domain experts who have no clue about tech are doomed. They are still very numerous in business, treating the tech people as support staff, rather than strategic staff. Generally sprinkling tech in a haphazard way on top of an existing organization, instead of reinventing it. This is exactly why disruption has been so successful in so many industries. It's been, generally, just a case of swapping the hierarchy around in favour of tech. That said, I am of the opinion that tech experts who have no specialization in a specific domain, are also increasingly doomed. Being an awesome coder, by itself, is no longer enough because there is so much global competition in a skill which has low barriers to entry for millions of talented people. You have to operate at the nexus of tech and domain and therefore know both really well.
