Ask HN: should we stop telling biz people to be their own technical co-founders?

I know a lot of people have been saying recently that anyone can be their own tech co-founder. Business folks can load up codeacademy or similar site, learn development, and build an MVP. That doesn't feel like a great move to me. Remember the first time you learned how to develop (or do calculus for that matter) back in college? You were slow, stumbled through things, made a load of mistakes, and didn't get things exactly correct. You had weeks to do problem sets. Now imagine that you had to build a functioning product at that point in your life. It would be a super slow process and the end product would leave a lot to be desired. Now, imagine a business person doing this. While he or she is stumbling around writing code, who is networking, hustling, and doing all those important things that business people do? And in that slow development process, someone else can swoop in and build the same product a lot quicker. I understand that people are frustrated that they cannot find developers, but I am not sure if this new movement is the best bet. Thoughts? Maybe I am taking crazy pills.
