Post should be titled "The 437th Time You've Read About Programmer's Tribal Aversion to 'Marketers', Except This Time Written By Orson Scott Card" P.S. Let me take a whack at the bee's nest: good software that can't be marketed, isn't.
Like soldiers or artists, you don't care about the opinions of civilians. You're building something intricate and fine.
I think the use of the words "marketers" and "managers" in the article is misleading and only causes hostile knee-jerk responses. Rather, what's important in the article is the description of what happens when drones take over a software company, i.e. a stifling environment, which hackers cannot stand, and for good reason. Better people than I have written about this. For example, PG.
Those in authority tend to be annoyed by hackers' general attitude of disobedience. But that disobedience is a byproduct of the qualities that make them good programmers. They may laugh at the CEO when he talks in generic corporate newspeech, but they also laugh at someone who tells them a certain problem can't be solved. Suppress one, and you suppress the other.
Come to think of it, PG probably makes the same point in a more neutral (and productive) manner --> http://www.paulgraham.com/gba.html
