How much coding did you know before starting your own side project/ startup?

Hi, I think you should start trying to create your product, and during development, you will improve your skills and learn new things. You won’t even notice how you will dive in different topics. 5 years ago, I started creating a project for myself, it was simple and not very functional. Soon, I made it public in the local market, users began to write their feedback and ideas, and during upgrading, I grew up as a programmer. Now I have a team, we have created a new version of the product, and when I look back I understand that I made the right decision when I decided to act, and not wait.
