The low code advantage becomes much more marginal in your case. I’ve used these tools in the past and they have lots of dead-ends where you expect to be able to do something, and you just can’t.
If low-code means you learn bubble in a week and can have a prototype in 2, versus just spinning up a simple JS prototype in a month, I’d go with the JS every time.
thank you gpt
No wait what. No no no no no.
At the start, coder code, businessman business.
Your ‘CTO’ is just heads down making whatever is needed. You don’t need to be 10x when you’re building out a prototype from duct tape and elastic bands.
Look if I had a rock-solid CEO who could bring:
- Really great sales, marketing and management skills
- Ability to raise funds if needed
- Domain expertise and contacts
- Was a blast to hang out with
I’d love it. Give me the tech to build and I’ll follow you into the abyss and get it done.
Something to consider is how this looks on your resume. CTO at 19 just screams BS. You’d genuinely be better getting an “intern SWE” or even “Junior Developer” title - you can take that with you and build on it.
Pitch it. Most technical people can be wooed like customers. I’ll hear you out if you like and provide some feedback.
I’ve seen a weird trend (not sure if it’s a scam) of just re-hashing free material. Saw this a lot when learning how to program in rust. There were 2 kinds of re-hashing:
Hi I work in tech. Use Wix or Squarespace and you’ll be paying <20 USD per month. It’ll handle everything you need and take you less than a day to setup. Github is more for advanced users, you don’t need it.
This is kinda cool - a buyer who believes in the product can hopefully get a ton of value out of what you start, and you can keep flipping these micro startups as you like.
I think retroactively trying to apply frameworks to successful household names can be an exercise in overfitting. Coca cola sold a tasty drink that people liked and was different to what else was available, they then ramped up manufacturing and branding better than others. I don’t think it solved any particular problem.
