But why can't tech people be the top management? Google has never had a suit as CEO. Don't think their VPs are suits either. But it's true for most of the business world.

Let me put this another way: are hackers inherently not suitable for top-management jobs, and there will always be suits managing them?

The difference is, hackers aren't inherently not suitable, but they're not inherently suitable either.

A good CEO can be a good CEO everywhere, but a good hacker isn't necessarily a good CEO anywhere.

Most the hackers I know are detailed oriented, complexed, focused individuals who love there craft.

As a rule, we see sales/marketing/raising capital, the politics of board meetings/HR as the fastest way to lose your soul.

So I guess we are "not suitable"
