This is so true! I see people in this thread talking about the contempt that "idea people" have for programmers/software engineers, but at the same time I have experienced Product Managers (the quintessential idea people?) who were really good at turning their ideas into super detailed specs.

As an aside, I'm getting a bit tired from the "programmers vs product/business people" trope. The average software engineer would be nothing without a good product manager in my experience. And going by this thread, there seems to be at least as much contempt from programmers/software engineers for product people than allegedly vice versa.
