> If you want to actually create a business you need to realize coding is both the easiest of all the things that needs to be done and also the least important.

I don’t agree. I understand the sentiment, though. In my experience “the importance” of coding depends on the business.

Like the author says, if you just want to code - go do it, you don’t have to have a business! But what they are missing is the compliment: if you just want to business, you don’t have to code!

If you're an experienced, motivated, results-oriented developer, then "coding" is an easy but still time-consuming thing.

But that's a very, very small percentage of the population.

When I talk to non-programming founders, they're insanely jealous that I can write a product and support it myself - because they can't. You can tell because they keep asking over and over, "You wrote that yourself?"

And a couple years later, their runway is spent on eng. salaries and they shut down.
