- no for the first - no tech background, hence wanting to do a bootcamp program to become a developer - not sure about the last piece; what does this mean?

  Bootcamp program will help but make sure you also have your own projects to learn with. As to the last piece: It's vitally important to be able to take advice from others in a startup. http://www.paulgraham.com/word.html http://www.paulgraham.com/word.html

    Thanks. I always have ongoing side projects, so I will work more on that. Re-read the article and I guess the inability to take advice is the opposite of "relentlessly resourceful"
