It is true a team ideally is made up of experts in different areas.

It is true having technical skills can make it easier to hire developers, get customers (only one way to make this easier), and appreciate the technical side.

If a 'developer looks down on you' why does this not make them an 'ideal candidate'?

And what is the value of an ideal candidate? Is finding one even possible? Isn't 'the ideal' hard to reach in anything? My ideal life is to make millions while making the word a better place, have a six pack, lots of interesting friends, write rap, write a novel, have an uberman sleep cycle and not go crazy, and have many beautiful and intelligent woman.

Isn't 'ideal' more of a standard then an actual possibility? If so, isn't not the end of the world if this developer is not ideal? Don't you only need a talented developer who will do the work that is asked of him?

And what is 'business or talent ' not 'convincing enough' for? (hiring the developer, creating a business etc..)

It'd be great to fully understand your point of view.
