>I came to realize that the hackers are the core of any good startup team.
Only software startups need them, but there are many kinds of startups.
First think of your idea, then see if you need programmers.
By reading those sites you are causing yourself to ignore all the other kinds of businesses in the world, and especially since you are not a programmer, that's a mistake.
Those sites are written by hackers, so they will of course laud hackers, but it's perfectly possible to create a startup that does not need hackers. Just a hired, regular, programmer or two.

I'm kind of surprised to see this down-modded. There's nothing wrong with casting a wider net, especially if you're not a technologist.
