This is very interesting. I don't have the pedigree mentioned in the article that, according to the article, leads one to Startup success. So, should I just give up or keep going?
"By learning to code, my desire is to get to a stage where: a. I can converse with tech people who have been at this their whole live, b. gain the proficiency to build the mvp, c. become a team member with attributable skill set when company is formed, etc. Hiring someone is inevitable down the line, but I need to create the map for him/her to paint first."
Ignore that asinine article. Don't judge your success based on whether you started a startup or not. Base it on what you wrote above: Learning to code, having technical conversations, and being a better person than you ever thought possible.
