My CV and other writings and most especially my work itself pretty extensively justify that I'm the right person for the job. Of course, it's probably pretty hard to tell without significant Common Lisp expertise...

Also, you should probably ask Paul Graham what he thinks of college dropouts...

"Graham received a Bachelor of Arts in philosophy from Cornell University[7][8] (1986).[9] He then attended Harvard University, earning Master of Science (1988) and Doctor of Philosophy (1990) degrees in computer science.[7][10] He has also studied painting at the Rhode Island School of Design and at the Accademia di Belle Arti in Florence.[7][10]"

I can't immediately find where in his essays he talked favorably about college dropouts, but there is this: https://twitter.com/paulg/status/1110248609545703425

It states: "Successful college dropouts are not rare in Silicon Valley. The current president of Y Combinator is one." This is merely an observation of his and says nothing about his personal attitude towards dropouts. But you have addressed him in your appeal, so take your chance.

I am assuming he would not say that if he deeply hated college dropouts and did not want to acknowledge their success.
