i am working on a startup at the mo but am not technical, we got someone to build a proportype (by paying) but realise if you wanna iterate and create a decent app, you cant keep paying people. I wonder how kul and harjeet YC Alumni managed (as they are not coders)
the solution to my problem is simple
a) im learning how to code from the ground up xhtml, css, php, mysql and then prob move on to ruby (this will take many months if not longer)
b) im looking for a technical cofounder, problem is, they all have the 9-5 mentality.
I majored in Politics as well, maybe i need some Joe Kraus magic!
- cwilbur 19y agoAs someone with a bit of technical skill: when the greatest motivation to work on a project is the money you'll pay me, I have a 9-5 mentality, because that's what you're paying for. When the greatest motivation to work on a project is the insane coolness of the project itself, things are different. Then, the money is just a bonus. Can you figure out something about your idea that hackers will find cool?
- JohnN 19y agoyer, definitely, and thats how im sellin it, in fact ive sold it to one technical person and he is willin to come onboard. prob is our site is php he is a c# man. i think he will be able to pick it up though. its quite strange really, i work for a technology company but there are no coders! lol
