Don't learn to code, learn to manage engineers

Andrew, a non-technical founder, grew a no-code SaaS to $10M ARR by finding one elite overseas engineer (Raymond Chester in China) and hiring all of his friends. His advice for non-technical founders: skip learning to code and learn to manage engineers well.

“I always recommend don't learn how to code, learn how to manage engineers. Properly. And so I ended up just hiring all his friends. So we ended up having like a house for them and they had like 20 engineers in China”

Steal thisIf you're non-technical, find one great engineer, treat them like a brother, and hire their network.
