Haven't you ever seen people who are artistically-inclined and those who aren't?



I have.


Those people are probably a good group to start looking for your elusive non-technical person. I've met people who have zero inclination to engage in DIY, car maintenance or how to setup email on their iPad. There are very definitely non-technical people in the world, and thank goodness there are because they contribute to society in ways I could never dream of doing.


Artistic people? I majored in piano performance (full-tuition scholarship for it) and have been employed as a developer for almost ten years. I don't think my situation is all that unusual.


I didn't say that all artists are non-technical so you fit into the model I described. I don't even think I implied it, to be completely honest.
