Yeah very interesting question. I can think of many scenarios. Say we have people who are techies but are not super deep in their subject. If I was them I would either think of finding people who have that know how, or I would do it myself in a "learning by doing" way. So while I build my startup or whatever, I would actually learn what I need to build it.

Yeah, that's exactly where I am right now. Have some ideas with other people to build something, but don't really have experience myself, so I'm learning as I do it. And if I hit the wall and have an idea who could advice me, then I go ask.

Alternatively, one could advice to hold the horses and gain that experience before the big bite, but that'd sound like a missed opportunity to me. From my experience, real world conditions are rarely the "ideal" ones, so I'm interested how we still can get things done with what we have. :)

Thanks for the response, looking forward to hear more from You in the future! :)
