Title: I have an idea and want to move it forward. Details below. Any advice?<p>(Given HN&#x27;s technical inclination, I am aware that most will frown on this from the start. Yet another &quot;ideas man&quot;.. ;-))<p>Background: I have never developed an app or website. I come from a non-tech project management and statistics background. I&#x27;ve dabbled in Python and R for statistics and academic-type research. So nothing really useful for app&#x2F;web development. I also don&#x27;t have any entrepreneurial credentials.<p>Current inclination: learn the necessary tools myself to code&#x2F;develop my own product. My rationale is that the more I know the ins-and-outs of my product, the better I can sell it. Plus, this path may even help me attract technical talent, or a technical co-founder. But truth be told, part of this inclination is also to ease (at least partially) my imposter syndrome. I know outsourcing the product would save me time in the short-run, but I would feel like a total poser doing so. Also, worst case, the project fails but the technical skills I acquired make me more marketable for tech-type jobs.
