"...and instead look for engineers who are interested in business and product design/development."

Isn't this the same as the generalists she recommends hiring?

Wasn't direct at her in particular. Also note that she isn't building CRM software. The example wasn't about her. In addition, generalists may actually not be appropriate for _some_ kinds of software development: it depends on your application.

Generally heavy complaints of "it's impossible to hire engineers" comes from a dissonance between engineers you're trying to hire and the engineers you actually need to hire (or at least the engineers that are interested in your product).
