What's a Non-Programmer to do?
jayemerican: Well, I am just starting with YC and I just came up with a product. None of us, are programmers.  At first, I wasn't looking for funding meant for software. Our product doesn't have to be software. I started to count myself out of the YC.  But then I realized that my product can be in the form of software. So I am designing the software, but I am going to contract someone to write it. But it's a little more complicated that CS, so I have to contract everything technical.  I don't feel bad about it.  If I want to I can learn it, if need be.  I don't have a degree, but my potential co- founders have a PHD and Masters, but they say I'm the genius.I have taught myself everything online. HTML website design and a little flash and I play with digital 3D animation.  I design every site I own. People pay me to design websites and I didn't finish school. Even in school my major was Mass Communications and Journalism, later Music Theater.So, you are and economics major. That's awesome and very important after the product is finished. You will know how to market it to the economy, among other things you know.You feel left out with the CS crew? I use to feel left out to every educated friend I have. But my abilities exceed paper and yours really exceeds your degree.Keep your head up.
