Besides the graveyard of failed start-ups? There's plenty of evidence, just no strong conclusions.

Did you look at the graveyard of failed start-ups and conclude they would of lived if they had enough non-coding overhead?

I look at it and see just as many failed start-ups from engineer-founders as a do from non-engineer founders. The idea that being a programmer makes you better to run a business has nothing to back it up.

I'm not sure where this idea comes from though, it's not something I argued. The post I replied to claims engineers can't see the big picture and deal with end user requirements, and your own testimony above contradicts that.
