Hi!
After two startups and a co-founder split, I have decided to try to go the other way this time. No (initial) funding, organic growth, first finding product-market fit and doing both technical and non-technical myself (one person shop) - I am non-technical but have a technical streak. I have done in the past a coding bootcamp (Fullstack in NY, highly recommended) but have not really coded since then (four years ago). Recently, I decided to dive back in and really enjoying the technical side of things. However, I realize it's not the most efficient way to building a product or company - but I believe that the issues investors and co-founders can create, besides the time to find and convince the right ones, if you have a knack for the technical, it might be the better and more peaceful choice - so far it is for me, let's see where I get to. Given that I had some foundation in coding (though limited practice) I felt diving into a few course before starting to build with the actual product was very beneficial. I especially enjoyed the courses by Wes Bos (worth every penny). I also spent a lot of time to explore what the right frameworks are. It's one thing to build something you can click through. It's another thing to build it in a way it can scale (including other developers coming in and continuing from where you left of). Choosing the right tech stack feels like a very important choice, the deeper I dig. I hope this is helpful. Good luck with your journey!
