As the title suggests, would you go down the rabbit hole of learning everything about a particular topic, or getting someone else to do the work for you, so that you have more time focusing on distributing it?
Asking this as I had an idea for an app, but don't know if I should look into coding it or find some other professional party to do it?
Or perhaps should I scratch that idea as it is too far advanced?
