There is a continuing misunderstanding between "suits" and dev's, where most dev's _do_ learn the business through experience, but the suits continually choose not to, and instead of working as the "teacher" and filter between both areas, just push the demands down to the dev. And "yes": teacher is always part of the job.

> That means you either move in the suits department

There's also the option of avoiding working all-together for companies that employ said "suits". Which, and I thank the Creator of the Universe for that, I managed to do for the last 10 years of my employee history.
