I really love it when a nontechnical founder teaches him or herself to code :)

@sama it's funny, as a technical founder I feel a near-constant guilt that I spend too much time writing and debugging code.

Everyone should, if starting a tech company! “@sama: I really love it when a nontechnical founder teaches him or herself to code :)”

@sama do you think it's always recommended or could it be a distraction from sales and non-technical duties? Applies to all startups?

@sama what is YCs willingness to accept founders who learn coding late on? Say non CS-grad, mid 20s

@sama U have to have an understanding of architecture + coding, But I would say, leave the coding part to the talented + experienced coders.
