I have experience as a full stack developer, and as a machine learning engineer. I know C#, Java, Javascript, and Python. I have my own private AWS account. But I am a first time Saas founder. I’ll be doing the development myself. Should I use my existing skills to come up with my first product or should I learn no-coide tools? The reason I ask is no-code tools seem like they might be worth learning to spin up really quick MVPs. Thanks
You have one goal right now. You need to get enough of a SaaS product going that you can figure out whether it can find users (“product-market fit”, it’s called).
DO NOT add other goals that don’t advance your one goal. Not til you have some surplus revenue coming in to spend on research.
Plus, low-code and no-code tools have a history of producing not-quite-good-enough results needing tweaks and workarounds that serve the tool vendor, not your customers. Clunky form handling, rigid database designs, and the other assumptions that go into lo/no code tech may, or may not, serve customers well. Stuff you make yourself that’s perfect will.
