If your idea is just a CRUD type and not tech intensive (like a search engine or something) i would say just hire someone from odesk to create the prototype...You can create a MVP for just $10k and may spend another $10-20k until you find a product/market fit.
Yes this initial code will be messy and not scalable. But after you zero in on the right working model it will be easy to hire good programmer(s) to rewrite the entire thing from scratch!
- evac 16y agoI agree that it would be easier to just hire someone since my idea isn't tech intensive, but for a college student like me, I don't have $10k at my leisure for hiring someone, must less $30k to get to product/market fit. Which was why I decided to learn coding myself since I have time and labor, just not money. But like you said, the initial code would be messy and unscalable at first, so my goal at the moment is get to a working prototype and attract/partner up with good tech cofounder afterward who could rewrite the entire thing.
