you guessed how highly i valued non-technical skills, based on literally zero information. i explained how highly i actually value non-technical skills, which is utterly contrary to your guess. you maintain you 'made no error', which i suppose means that you believe your initial baseless guess was correct, and i'm either mistaken or lying about my own beliefs

and somehow you think i'm the condescending and rude one?

my initial comment didn't even say how highly i value technical skills; it only said that the sign of the value i assign to technical skills is positive rather than negative—in the context of looking for a cofounder (as opposed to certain other contexts, such as finding user testing subjects, where the sign might be negative)

i explained that, by answering my comment in the way you did, you are engaging in the same kind of flamebait and politics that kills rational discussion around topics like abortion rights and gun control. (please stop doing that and respond to what i actually wrote.)

in response, you're implicitly claiming that i'm the one who's bringing in the flamebait and politics?

i don't know what you expect to achieve with this kind of darvo bullshit

no reasonable person could claim that when i say 'nontechnical skills like marketing, grit, forgiveness, and negotiation are far more critical to business success than any technical skill' i am 'dismissing the potential value of a non-tech co-founder'

but you did make that claim

what i'm dismissing, as i've explained at exhaustive and exhausting length, is the idea that they're valuable because of their lack of technical skills, rather than despite it (and because of their other skills, which, as i explained repeatedly, are even more crucial to business success)
