Ask HN: Where do you draw the line between technical and non-technical?
Forgive my naivete, but since I started reading HN earlier this year, I've seen the terms "technical" and "non-technical" thrown around a lot, mainly when it comes to founders, but not limited to that.
From my perspective, it seemed implied that "technical" is synonymous with "coder/developer" and "non-technical" being "everybody else". So, I ask, where do you draw the line?

That's pretty much it. Either you code or you don't.
To me, what you said seems like the other technical people that don't write code would be considered "non-technical", which doesn't make sense to me. I, for example, don't write code but I'm far from non-technical. So... I'm still confused.
