I understand the desire for a site like this from a job seeker's perspective (no CS degree here either), but what is the incentive for the employer?
Are these no-CS job hunters not on every other site? As a job poster just put "No degree required" and your inbox should be flooded.
I don't see "no degree" as a skill that needs to be sought by paying $99 to post a job.

I remember taking a geology class as a substitute for an ecology class I couldn't get in to before I moved states for my environmental studies degree where the professor would often comment that my descriptions of certain geological principals were interesting to read through because I couldn't just regurgitate the info my classmates had from taking pre-requisite classes I didn't have to take.
