Been seeing a lot of posts and stuff online about people teaching themselves how to code and recommending others to learn coding. For business purposes, is it worth it to learn to code from scratch? Or is it better to just use established tools or services? In the context of someone who is interested in starting an online business but having no interest in breaking into the webdev industry.
The reason I ask is because I have my degree and masters in a vastly different field and probably won’t get remotely close in skills to someone who studied software engineering in university learning on my own, so I am not sure if learning to code is pointless or not, as it seems like ultimately I might need to get professional assistance.
The reason I thought coding might be useful is to maybe make a proof of concept app or website on my own to start out with as a low risk trial before getting more investors in and see how it goes from there instead of straight out hiring people which might cost a lot more.
Any reason you mention Europe in particular? How would I get in touch with them? I’m not from Europe personally.
