I am interested in learning at least the basics of programming based on the nature of tech startups, even if I never end up doing any. Even if to simply communicate to a cofounder on a slightly higher level, rather than being completely ignorant of the ramifications of certain adjustments the app needs, etc.

I understand that people with an idea are a dime a dozen, but I think my time is better spent on other aspects of the project rather than actually writing code, even if it's the initial version.

Thanks everyone for the advice.
