Isn't getting users just as, if not more, important? The best product in the world is pointless if no one uses it.

Isn't getting users just as, if not more, important? The best product in the world is pointless if no one uses it.
- austenallred 13y agoSure, and I'm pretty good at that: We have users signing up in droves to an empty landing page. But I'm passionate about product, too, and I can't get my hands dirty.
- andrew_gardener 13y agoThis! You may not realize it but your co-founder is likely very dependent on you getting those users. You can try and broaden your horizons but make sure you get your work done first and foremost! Also ask yourself, does my co-founder even want me touching the code and servers?
- austenallred 13y agoOf course not, but I'm still really young, and I hate not being able to help.
- andrew_gardener 13y agoIn that case you can try and make your developers life as easy as possible by taking on a more supportive role (what that entails depends on the developers) to help them pump out the code. That or really stick to your guns and get into coding for real. It seems that the major problem is that you lack the proper motivation to learn. So why not ask your co-founder if there is some small aspect of the website that you could work on in your free time? Get your co-founder to set you up on your own branch so you can work in isolation and learn how to do that small feature step by step. This way you'll have the motivation that your feature might someday make it into the final product. Just make sure to have your partner review your code and live with the fact it might not be good enough to use (yet). Practicing on features used in real projects can really help you learn at lot.
