Ask HN: What do you call someone who has 20 apps released but can't code?

11 pointsby WesleyThurnerover 11 years ago
I wrote my first 3 Android apps and they sucked plus took a long time. So I switched gears to mockups, photoshop and outsourcing code. I have about 20 apps now, but I am not sure what yo call myself.<p>Is this a marketable skill within a company? What further training/degrees/etc. should I pursue?

Seems like you&#x27;re playing a few roles, but the chief ones would probably be:<p>Product Manager: You take business goals and turn them into technical requirements, then ensure the product gets built.<p>Project Manager: You take technical requirements and ensure that your team delivers on those requirements.<p>User Experience Designer: You create mockups for products which can be implemented by the technical team.<p>I&#x27;d put together a portfolio of your work and send it off to a few companies, as that might be good enough to land you a job.

Mockups w&#x2F;photoshop = information architecture &#x2F; user interface designer<p>Managing workers and segmenting tasks = project management<p>both are available as fields of study and are defined roles in most businesses -

Where do you outsource typically? How hard was it to go from idea&#x2F;mockups to app and what was the typical cost?
