Take 2 weeks off, learn it yourself. It is not that hard! Not sure why people put this shit on the pedestal so much.

Anyway, lean it yourself, put it out there, make some money, hire at market rate. If you cannot do that then you are in the wrong business.

You make an extremely weak CEO by being this reliant on a dev.

Yeah, that's a good point. Time to brush up on my coding skills. Do you think you can sell and code in a startup and be great at both?

[abbasmehdi]

Fuck yes. It actually makes you even better as both, a programmer and a sales person.

Makes you a better salesperson becuase you know your product knowledge goes much through the roof, you know what is and isn't possible, and you can estimate how long things take to build and what it would cost to build them. (You are actually useful).

Makes you a btter coder because it is you who is married to the customer, so nothing is lost in translation.
