> (I have an MA in philosophy), Judging by my experience you actually did go to school for it - or at least half of it. I worked with a few PhDs in this field and it appears that it uniquely prepares one for this line of work.

It's definitely something I would make known/have made known in my resumes/applications, especially my training with modern symbolic logic/metalogic! But yes, even philosophy in general I think has some more organic agreement to coding beyond that. The hardest language anyone could grok is probably the First Critique and works like that, and really understanding it is quite akin to the abstract kinds of thinking you need for coding.
