> Lesson #4: Don't make everything reliant on code if you can't code. I beg to differ. I worked for a client a few years ago. The company was started by two non-technical guys. They outsourced their product to a freelance web developer. They told me tales of how that guy was slow to fix problems and how the website went down for extended period of times when he made changes. And yet, they grew the company because their customers wanted their product. They first were able to hire their own web developer. From there, they added more employees. Now they have dozens of them and multimillion yearly revenue. They run ads on TV and are recognized nationally as the leader in their field. They are now expanding to other countries. The problems of this guy were business related, not code related. It's evident from his lesson #1.
