Side note: Several people have been saying KR is a non-technical founder, but you should know that he actually studied computer science.

    Just as Mark Zuckerberg and William Gates.

    Not sure if you're implying that KR isn't a technical guy (he may or may not be, I don't know enough about him), but with your logic, Bill Gates isn't a technical guy either, seeing that he dropped out of college too (although before choosing a major). Majoring in comp sci = having some technical knowledge, whether you graduate or not. Not majoring in comp sci != not being a technical guy.

      I wasn't suggesting Kevin is or isn't a technical guy. I merely think that it's very biased and weird to 'remind' everyone that Kevin studied computer science as an argument to say he's technical - but not mention that he dropped out. I was trying to add relevant facts to a biased post without trying to get involved in the discussion...guess it's too late for that. I don't know enough about him either, so I'll stop bringing things up here on this topic. :)

        Yeah, sorry if that came across as hostile. It just seemed like you were saying "he's not technical because he dropped out." I do agree with you in that his major doesn't necessarily mean he's technical, though.
