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

    Speed is all that matters when you’re pre-PMF, so do whatever is going to get a product in to market fastest so you can iterate and find out if what you’re building is worthwhile.

    Depending on the product, this could be with no-code, or could be with a simple, reliable tech stack that you’re very familiar with. Do not build a new product with a tech stack you’re unfamiliar with. It will kill your velocity and quite possibly your company.

    Don’t listen to anyone who tells you to “do it right the first time” or hedge your bets by building something complex as practice for your next thing. It’s nonsense espoused by people who’ve never built a company before.
