It's not that I don't want to learn. I've made 3 serious efforts to learn, and although I understand how programming works, I could never do it at the level I want. However, the small amount of programming I've learned has given me good insights and allows me to communicate better with technical people.



> I could never do it at the level I want.

Even professional programmers can get that feeling when looking at some of the really popular apps/webapps/games. You have to keep in mind though that none of those are built by a single person but by at least a couple of people (usually dozens upon dozens). The key is to start small but to start somewhere and keep going.


Yeah, if I focused only on programming, I'm sure I could learn it well, but then my marketing/biz skills would suffer. It's better that I focus on my strengths.
