Could you explain a bit more? If there are no hackers in your startup, you need to learn it all, not just some skills. If there are hackers in your startup, they can do it without you.

If you want to start your long journey to become a hacker and less annoying to your co-founders ;-) there's at least http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/hacker-howto.html

right, I'm mostly looking to gain mid level of proficiency in some of the front end areas to be a more well rounded leader. While there is a lot of stuff I do not really want to learn, having the skills to create live mockups and make tweaks on my own will save a ton of time as well as give me more control of the final look/feel/function of the product.
