Coding Queue

I almost killed my startup before it even launched. I started building my tech startup 18 months ago. As a non technical founder, I hired a web dev from Pakistan to help build my idea. He was doing good work but I got impatient and wanted to move faster. I made a HUGE mistake. I put my reliable developer on pause and hired an agency that promised better results. They seemed professional at first but I soon realized I was just one of many clients. My project wasn't a priority for them. After wasting so much time and money, I went back to my original Pakistani developer. He thankfully accepted the job again and is now doing amazing work, and we're finally close to launching our MVP. If you're a non technical founder: 1. Take the time to find a developer you trust and stick with them it's worth it 2. Don't fall for any promises from these big agencies or get tempted by what they offer 3. ⁠Learn enough about the tech you're using to understand timelines 4. ⁠Be patient. It takes time to build Hope someone can learn from my mistakes. It's not worth losing time and money when you've already got a good thing going.
