Out of interest, how many people here have some kind of computer science background?
Quite a few if not most, it seems. See http://lesswrong.com/lw/fk/survey_results/ - the summary there doesn’t mention the educational background, but looking through the actual spreadsheet, lots of people have listed a “computing” background.
