What do you do for work if it's not writing code? I'm always fascinated by the non-paid-professional-programmers who frequent HN.

I worked in tech investment banking for a decade out of college, and now work for myself.
I majored in history and Spanish at Columbia, which is associated with at least two other people who have had notable computer-related careers/sidelines and eminent non computer-related careers: <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eben_Moglen> and <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edward_Mendelson>. (Not that I would put myself at their level.)
