I disagree strongly with this as blanket advice. A large number of SaaS apps are primarily CRUD apps where outputs are database updates and/or API calls. No-code platforms could support many of these quite well through the first $1m + of revenue.

Y Combinator exists as an explicit bet against this proposition. (They publicly said they wanted to find the youngest age where entrepreneurs could be successful.) To take another, AirBnB is a good counter-example. Should the founders have been experts in programming? Data science? Recommendations engines? Hospitality? If you erect enough artificial barriers, nobody will launch anything.
