This week’s newsletter is going to cover:

1- Anyone can build a software startup.

2- Flowchart for choosing your tech: No-Code Vs Code.

Anyone can build.

People think they are not the “coder type”.

I know this is a misconception because is there such a thing as a coder type?

Coding is just language to build stuff.

Do you avoid talking because you are not the literary type?

I used to be a finance guy. I used to think coding is not for me.

But I reframed by perception. Instead of thinking of coding as a language only computer geniuses use.

I reframe how I thought of coding. How about seeing it as simply a tool/skill to help me build cool stuff?

No need to focus on the end goal and try to visualize yourself coding all day.

Take it step by step. Do you like building things? If you don’t know, try it out!

Try something small. Something manageable you actually want to build.

Then progressively completing more complex and more fun projects.

Without realizing you will become a coder/builder. Avoiding limiting beliefs.

Especially in this day and age, there are more ways and tools than ever to achieve it.

Now you know you want to learn to code. But where do you begin?

In this day in age there a MANY ways to build a software startup.

Code, no-code, AI., etc. And about 100 frameworks/apps in each of those categories.

Especially with the help of AI. ANYONE can become a builder.

Here are 2 questions to help you choose HOW you should build it.

1- Do you enjoy using the technology? What tech has the least friction for you?

2- What prior experience do you have?

Enjoyment.

Enjoying building is so important. I could tell you: “Just learn code it’s so much better and more flexible”

But if you try to learn to code and it’s torture for you.

Then No Code might be better for you.

But don’t abandon building as a whole just yet.

Prior Experience.

Do you have prior coding experience?

Maybe you used Python for a school project.

Or maybe you used a bit of PHP while building a WordPress site.

Use your prior experiences to guide you. Choose based on what makes sense for you.

Not based on what everyone says is the “best” framework to learn.
