What about hiring developers to build the product? What about paying the salary that my team deserves?
^exactly
I don't think Paul is saying hire nobody. Just do it as smartly/efficiently as possible. Be cheap is just another way of saying don't waste money. Spend the money like it's your own. Don't spend it just because you have it.
Agreed.
I second this. Learning to code is the best thing you can do. A small snipet of code as a complete product is exponentially scalable vs a large product that needs human resource. Apart from able to build it yourself, you learn the trick on how to talk to a developer. 1/2
And even developers love to work with founders/ lead who has a grasp on technical aspects. It’s always a win-win on the long run ...
this only works for very simple, food truck-online kinds of businesses, but I doubt they could even be called startups (I recall someone having written a blog about this). A powerful, complicated multi-side (b2b & b2c) product can’t be made by learning programming by yourself.
also, learn to program is not equal to learn to code these days. build a nice product with no code tools, have a moving and honest social mission, tell a great story. bum.
Careful. This is one way we exclude ppl w under-represented backgrounds in tech & VC. To forgo income while learning to code + building a company can be impossible. And non-tech founders who bring industry/business skills should hone those strengths & build complementary team.
Indeed, but it’s always good to learn code. I’d focus on my skills from B to B+ or A than otherwise. Building business is hard. Coding + Building business are super hard. Not going that way. But will build mvp with no code to start with :)
