I agree with you. But only if you are a motivated person. It saddened me when I had to give up on them by founding out that they (most people, even the close ones) are not motivated due to fear, laziness, and disbelief in own powers and possibilities of improvement.

If the founder is a developer, yes, I totally agree. But for business person, no, I don't. Just like OOP programming, I think a team needs to be comprised of unique committed talented professionals that can do their own job very good: marketing, sales, social networking, programming, designing, business managing, legal, etc. (skills might overlap).

Even if you are Jack of all trades, you won't have the time to execute all the tasks well on your own. If the developer looks down on you because you don't know how to code, then that is not your ideal candidate or your business or talent is not convincing enough.

If you are going to use PHP, Laravel 4 framework is probably the best choice https://tutsplus.com/tutorial/why-laravel-is-taking-the-php-...

Symfony 2 and Silex (for small projects) are great frameworks too

But if you already know and love Python, stick to that. It's a great language.

Why I use Vim 13 years ago

I thought people were crazy using vim, because I wasn't able to edit any text! Now addicted to vim, can't use any other editors anymore.
