I would upmod this but I'd be afraid even more non-hacker friends would bug me.

To be honest -- I'd be scared of any incredibly bright individual (even who went to b-school or majored in art history) who was not willing to get their hands dirty with at least a little code.

If you're building the next Google, okay, they probably can't help much.

But if you're building your average CRUDish webapp, you don't need that many CS rocket scientists to get er done.

Unless of course, he brought in a lot of users/investors.
