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

    I would say it depends on what type of platform you are building. If it is a marketplace, an online retail store, a CRM/CMS (which it is probably is not), or something that no-code has developed direct solutions for, then it may be worth it. Otherwise you’re going to have to deep dive into some of these no/low code options to see if it’s feasible from both a UX and cost perspective. Some options are ridiculously overpriced as they customize your cost based on how you plan to scale. The good part is that there are many no-code solutions that can scale way beyond what it would take for you to get funding interest both at the seed and early series funding stages.
