As someone who was more or less a "Hello World engineer" (at least not far from it) when founding my first startup, I couldn't agree more.

The article expands a bit on why it's not a good idea to hire a CEO, and I mostly agree with that part, though not so much with having no business person on the founding team.

Also, I think most commenters are not weighing how much different running a biotech startup is compared to a software startup.
