Thomas Dohmke, CEO of GitHub, emphasized that while AI coding assistants have made it easier for non-technical founders to start businesses, technical developers are still crucial for scaling and attracting investments. During his address at VivaTech in Paris, he noted the rise in market interest towards AI tools. However, he warned that many startups built predominantly with AI tools may struggle to stand out to investors, who are looking for deeper complexity and insight in projects. The landscape of software development continues to evolve, raising questions about the essential skills in the AI-driven environment.
The value of your startup isn't defined by what you can develop using cheap measures.
Investors would ask, 'Why would I invest in you instead of the 10 other people?'
A non-technical founder will find it difficult to build a startup at scale without developers.
AI tools can lower the barrier to launching a startup, but scaling them still requires technical expertise.
