I would consider having design skills as a technical skill. Try doing a tech startup with a liberal arts degree (or three) ;)

Good article!



Maybe true, but both design and liberal arts degrees are missing the true technical skills that a tech startup really requires: back-end development, experience with servers, databases, etc. That's been the toughest part — it's all well and good to ideate, but implementation is where things really matter. I waffled on the title, but decided that if YC considers myself non-technical, then it fits. :P

Thanks for the compliment! It's really fun being the tech person because at least I'm learning something new every day.
