I mean welcome to the internet ? You can do this on every siteforum . Spez just made the mistake to mention it . <| sep |> Well , I mean in that regard , you could potentially learn how to code in whatever language necessary and figure certain things out . But every company needs somebody with a vision . Steve Jobs knew that certain features needed to be on computers , without even knowing how to make it happen . Then , there were engineers who had no idea what a computer should look like but could build whatever Steve Jobs thought was necessary . So , in summation , yes find a technical cofounder , but be willing to learn the basics of certain things in order to help out if necessary . A friend and I were going to make a video game one day , back when I was around 18 . He had prior programming and video game design knowledge and I had a certain vision for what I wanted to game to be . We would work on it every once and a while and I ' d give him ideas and he ' d program it up and we ' d see how it would run with certain things . I ended up helping substantially when I picked up a couple books on C and put my old animation skills to use . We ended up making a semi polished game , but never released it as it still remains unfinished . A good skill for somebody to have is the ability and the will to take something up which could help an organization complete a required goal . Otherwise , we would ' ve had to hire an animator and a second coder . Also , I figured if we did release the video game and it got huge , my friend would wonder why the fuck I was even on the team if I had 0 knowledge on programming or video game design and give me the boot . That ' s my two cents .
