| Thanks for the reply! (as well as your other one, which I've responded to in the wrong order, ha) I think my other reply regarding outsourcing vs doing it myself frames what you have said here perfectly. Ultimately, I do not at all think I can learn to code in a few months or a year or even 2 (well, be as proficient as I want to be and should be anyway). I know for that a fact, just based upon myself researching and learning about all the different languages, frameworks, terminology, and so on. Even that tiny amount shows the immensity of what there is out there. To be proficient, it takes YEARS. I don't underestimate it all. As a result, I do ultimately believe I have 2 choices: outsource or do it myself. I'm honestly leaning towards outsourcing at this point since if I need a technology guy regardless than why not get an MVP put together sooner (and better) by outsourcing? I guess it plays off what you've quoted: "invest in what you know" and I don't know coding, so perhaps I should hire what I can afford and ultimately look for someone to join forces with myself once I've created an MVP and traction and have something to really show for myself. I might not have the technical know-how to bring to the table, but I believe I have other valuable qualities and a great idea and vision. Thanks for wishing me luck and I appreciate the advice. Thank you for all the posts from everyone thus far! I really needed to have the conversation, get opinions, etc. It is so helpful. |
