Four books helped me out a lot over the last few years: Four Steps to the Epiphany by Steve Blank, Running Lean by Ash Maurya, The Four Hour Workweek by Timothy Ferris and Rework by Jason Fried & David Heinemeier Hansson. Nowadays I’m not a great coder, but in 12 months I learned how to rock in HTML/CSS, JS & Python.

I still encourage you to take a leaned-in posture towards investing in yourself. We all start as individual contributors, and we are good at technical competence – that narrow collection of skills you need to be a coder, a cook, an accountant. They tell a coder how to write advanced code.

I first spent time trying to build it myself leveraging open source tools, applying my skills from a single CS class, and trying to be an autodidactic coder. Devs will get the chance to meet other coders (experienced and aspiring) and work in groups of 1-3 to make some wicked apps. However, I needed to actually build it!

Since I’m not a coder by profession, building a website is out of the question. As more companies are leaning toward flexible work schedules and remote work, I’m happy to support this trend by providing resources for digital nomads and remote workers on my website. At that time, I wanted something simple and easy to update.

I haven’t been an active coder since I was in my late 20s, but there’s no question that my experience learning how to code when I was 12 and teaching children and adults how to program has changed the way I think about every aspect of my life. The Lean Startup movement draws from this same philosophy.

Steve Blank, author of Four Steps to Epiphany , has helped formulate the thinking behind the Lean Startup methodology , together with Eric Ries.

In the article, Andrew describes growth hackers as a cross between marketers and coders. What I believe Sean Ellis is getting at is a methodology and set of processes, not a string of silver bullets and moonshots (maybe akin to what the Lean Startup methodology is to entrepreneurship?).

Also, for the full time coder, you may violate your employee contract especially in the area of non-competes or just plain piss off your boss when he finds out how much time you have been putting into a side project when deadlines were looming. The above would make sense if one is unable to afford or obtain coders period.
