Can we also say Founders that can't sell are hobbyists? I can't code. But I work in industry (not tech related at all) and we have niche problems to be solved and customers are lining up. As of right now, I'm a solo "founder" with no coding skills and hired tech guys to do the MVP.

I think your original assertion is a bit much. I wish I was better at coding, but at this point in my life it is more valuable for me to sit with my clients and build relationships. I think that even if I was a very capable programmer, I would still not code and rather go out and talk to my clients or potential clients, because that is something my programming team cannot do. The more I interact with my clients, the more I learn about problems and issues they have that can be fixed with technology.
