I'm a marketer. I consider myself fairly technical, can code a bit and can easily have technical discussions with engineers. I'm not a developer but I'd love to improve my skills and build a product one day.

I'm a freelance writer. I joined HN hoping to learn to code. It hasn't yet happened.

Lots of people here are not programmers.

I think the name is pretty brilliant, but I can see why you might not know exactly what it is until you see the app.

There are also non-technical cofounders, BD, and marketing folks. Would make for an interesting Ask HN!

I'm a chef/English teacher and taught myself to code. Reading the articles on here(actually mostly the comments), helps me learn about things I haven't heard of yet.

Probably a fair few. MechE here myself. Software is interesting, informed conversation with technical people is nice to read.
