Non-technical founder? Learn to hack

In his blog post, Sam Altman advises non-technical founders to learn to code instead of solely seeking technical co-founders. He emphasizes that while it takes years to become an expert hacker, one can acquire sufficient skills to build a basic app or website within months. Many founders initially resist this idea, believing their time is better spent on other tasks. However, Altman argues that understanding coding is crucial for running a software company and overcoming challenges. He suggests that learning to hack can lead to valuable user feedback and potentially attract skilled partners. Ultimately, he encourages solo founders to embrace coding as a vital skill.
