Pretty good article about things over at Etsy. I particularly liked this quote.
If you’re building a technology-driven company, you better have a culture that loves engineers, and I mean love. All too often, I see entrepreneurs who say they "just need engineers" to "bang out the code" for this great idea of theirs. If you view engineers as interchangeable factory workers instead of partners and creative people, you’re in for a tough time getting huge in a world driven by technology.
