> What I don't get is why are some software developers so terrified of "non-techies"? I can only speak for myself obviously, but at my work, all resumes are funneled through our recruiter. Sure, we can forward resumes to her as-needed, but it's in her job description to go out and find qualified candidates. She attends job fairs, she posts to Craigslist, etc. She is also completely non-technical -- she's the recruiter for the entire company, which includes every role imaginable in a mid-sized company: finance, HR, etc. There's a very high chance that if you sent her the OP's website, his resume would never even make it to my desk, whether or not he was actually qualified. Sure, if I ever received the resume and then ended up on his site, I'd be impressed, but I have to get there first. But why would you want to essentially disqualify yourself before even getting to the one responsible for hiring?
