There is more to a business than code.
- whyleyc 14y agoThere is no Snapchat business without code.
- CoffeeDregs 14y agoThe mindset of "code is necessary and sufficient" is blinding and will prevent you from being an effective team member, founder and/or executive. Small companies have existential threats around every corner and don't exist if they don't have lots of help.
- whyleyc 14y agoI'm not arguing that code in and of itself is sufficient, rather that it is the one necessary fundamental for most online/app-based/saas style businesses. Without code you don't even have a pig to put lipstick on.
- amirmc 14y agoThat can arguably be reduced to "There is no Snapchat business"

Adding: I_HAVE_THE_CODEZ && AttractingUsers && RetainingUsers && AttractingTalent && DoingPayroll && GettingOfficeSpace && HavingARolodex && KnowingSalaries && KnowingProductManagement && KnowingSales && OhCrapWeveGotAConferenceComingUp && OurRockstarJustLeft && *everything* [Note: I'm a "developer"... ]
