I wouldn't say building a business has nothing to do with the product.

The issue is when the focus is _only_ on the product and no effort is done on business development, market research, marketing...

Garbage is an harder sell than outstanding especially with limited resources. However, if "outstanding" means "I think they'll throw money at it, I just have to wait", you've got a problem.

In no way am I saying the business has _nothing_ to do with the product. Simply that it’s probably far less than the developer in many of us wants to accept.

The product is the second or third or fourth most important thing. The language not important. Being upto date on package the least important.
