Based on the thousands of companies YC has funded over the years, the biggest common element between all successful startups is having technical talent on the founding team. But what do you do if you don’t know how to code? You may think you can get by using no-code tools, part-time consultants, or dev shops to bring your startup idea to life. But that thinking is wrong.
In this episode of Dalton & Michael, we’ll discuss exactly why that is and why recruiting a technical co-founder is the single biggest way to create value as someone trying to start the next big thing.

How to fly without wings
Wow! I feel very slighted after viewing this video, like, if I were a protected class, I was nearly discriminated against.
I don't really know why, but it feels like there's a big "catch" behind all that mocking and laughing. As if they're trying to impose something.
At the end of the day with the big bank account you can hire and create whatever. Microsoft and google and facebook were created by very smart software engineer employees.
Bruh, другой канал, Y Combinator упал ниже плинтуса в эти дни. Перестаньте доверять этим wannabe программистам, seriously. Они говорят, мол, построили продукт, но где, блэт, этот продукт вообще? 他们都只是嘴上说说，根本没真做东西，真让人无语！
What do you consider a tech company? Already sth "simple" like Tinder or really the complicated ones like Oracle, Google, SAP…?
i dont know if this is just the American way of doing it, i just can't people that talk like this. Why can't you just be normal and not so over the top? Is this a sign that i may not fit in with this crowd? I work full time, and don't feel that with the people i work with now or in the past.
Not easy. But less communication and compromise.
wasted time , on 2 grown men ranting and judging people …..huuuhhhh
love the directness
