I agree with this. I am a business guy with a marketing background. I can tell you what needs to be done with marketing and probably fill your "knowledge coffer" in about 5 days. Programming is the truly hard part, it takes months to get a handle on and as soon as you put it down for a few weeks you must re-learn much of what you've forgotten (at least that's my experience). If marketing was harder than programming, I think we'd have dozens of programmers trying to find marketers on Craigslist and forums... instead of reality which is marketers scraping for programmers to join projects on an equity basis. |

That sounds true on the surface but actually we've no idea of the number of programmers who failed but would/could have succeeded had they gone looking for a marketer. That marketers go out and try to 'market themselves' to programmers shouldn't be a surprise.
