@elishatan
You don’t need to be a programming expert
@elishatan
@elishatan
@elishatan
@elishatan
Why should you, the founder,
learn how to code?
1. Communicate with developers
2. Test ideas quickly
3. Make better business decisions
@elishatan
Programming is easy to pick up, hard to master.
But it’s learnable!
@elishatan
rails new my_app
rails g scaffold notebook title:string content:text

Act 3: Growing in Contribution
The Next Big Thing
@elishatan
Pivot or Persevere?
@elishatan
I decided to kill my startup
@elishatan
Pain
@elishatan
Killing my startup is the hardest thing I’ve done
@elishatan
@elishatan
