Indeed. Consider whether you might be able to validate the idea without writing code, by outsourcing dev, or building your mvp with low-code / no-code. By validate I mean (1) people will part with real $ for something that's a pretty basic mvp, and (2) there's also a reasonable possibility of it paying your bills. At that point, take the leap (it's always a leap!), roll up your sleeves, and allow yourself to do the deep work to make it successful. If you see early indicators of a successful side business, don't wait too long to leap!
