If you have expertise in a field far removed from programming, the downside is that you're less likely to know programmers to start a company with. But there's also some upside. Your field's distance from programming may mean there are more unexploited ideas left.

How much programming is enough to learn for non-tech cofounders?

“All you have to do...”
As someone who’s taken this route, I can say that “the gap” is real. -
Around YC, it's common for "all you have to do" to precede a description of something quite hard. It doesn't imply that something is easy, but straightforward. (That's the goal of YC. Not to make startups easy, which is impossible, but to make them more straightforward.)
