You&#x27;re making a lot of assumptions. Just because someone doesn&#x27;t code on a daily basis doesn&#x27;t mean that person doesn&#x27;t know about tech. If I were their LP, I would be worried if the VCs were coding. Lastly, being good at predicting the future in terms of technology has very little to do with those little details you mentioned. I see so many developers just focused on learning the next new technology like react, grunt, es6, etc. but never even think about where this is all going, they&#x27;re just satisfied that they have great skills. Not saying it&#x27;s a bad thing, I&#x27;m saying being very good at technical details and seeing the trend has very little to do with each other and sometimes even contradictory (If your goal is to become the best developer who knows every single new technology, you won&#x27;t have time to think about other things)
