I've taken it upon myself to learn coding and at times, I find myself completely hating it. I too view it as a "means to an end", allowing me to produce MVP without needing to consult with "professional" programmers paying them to create a beta product in which I will and can create. My goal as an entrepreneur is to be a triple threat: Marketing, Bus. Dev. & Product Development. I believe whether your in the tech, bio-medical or renewable energy spaces; you are supposed to be able to create a MVP even if it is crap; especially if you call yourself an entrepreneur.
