What does it mean to be technical, but not to program?

• maukdaddy 16y ago
  Personally, it means that I have programmed in a prior life, understand web programming (rails, javascript, et al), can talk intelligently about technologies, but don't want to actually program for a living. EDIT: Another important point - understanding the business implications of technologies. A lot of people understand the business side, or understand the technical side, but few really understand how they fit together, and how their relationship truly impacts a company.

  One could be, for example, a mechanical engineer, an electrical engineer, or a chemical engineer.
