There are plenty of business opportunities that require little if any code to be written that could be addressed by anyone who has the entrepreneur bug. It's hard work, rarely generating sexy IPO-level returns or media exposure, dealing with cutthroat competitors, regulators, clients and employees and an apathetic market. But like I said, it's hard work.
Why someone would still believe today that they can magically make a business succeed in a space where they ignore even the most fundamental concepts is beyond me. More often than not these projects tend to be very simplistic and rely not on the technology but on the social dynamic of the concept (see: Kickstarter) and if the hiring non-technical founder is unable to hire from within their social circle then it's quite possible that either any developer they know would pass on this or they don't actually know any developers.
And why is this person choosing development languages/stacks, or did they cross post to every language job site?
