Many Ideas but No "Hacking" Skills
mixmax: I think learning how to program is the way forward for several reasons.- If nothing else you'll learn more about how it works, what can and can't be done, etc.- It'll make you a better manager- It shows that you have commitment.But basically it's simply about looking at one problem at a time, seeing how you might solve it, and then moving on to the next one. It seems as if you've chosen to try and grok programming, and have made some progress, but not quite enough. That's good. If you're doing something you're doing more than most people. Now you can move on and try to find a partner or contractor, and they'll be able to see that you've actually tried. you're not just a dreamer with a million dollar idea. That'll give you some credibility.I just wrote a blogpost about this that might be of interest to you: http://www.maximise.dk/blog/2009/08/dreamers-and-doers.htmlAnd hey, don't give up :-)
