Naaa.

If you have an idea and you learn how to implement it you might find yourself a single founder/creator.

You know what they say about those, right?

"What's wrong with having one founder? To start with, it's a vote of no confidence. It probably means the founder couldn't talk any of his friends into starting the company with him. That's pretty alarming, because his friends are the ones who know him best." -- Paul Graham, 18 mistakes, 2006.

I disagree. If you want to interact with carpenters, learning about carpentry, trying out carpentry (while not pretending to be an expert) helps a lot.

Put another way - its like speaking a language in a foreign country - the effort and practice is quite meaningful to those who live there.

It seems that to avoid becoming a single founder we have to have the ability to reach out and speak the language of those we want to join us.

Cheerio yohs.
