Like back in the great industrial revolution between the 18th and 19th centuries, engineers played a pivotal role in inventing steam engines and telephones. I'd like to think that we are now in phase 2 of this industrial revolution where global connectivity via the internet will lead the way in innovation.
Nothing's changed by very much in the past 200 years or so. We still need great engineers / programmers to create great products. But from my limited observation of start-up events here in Malaysia, we tend to get 90% hustlers and 10% techies. Either that or I have been attending the wrong events. Personally, I think a 50:50 mix would be ideal as hustlers are still key to the equation to bring a product to market and sell it.
