Fewer tech-savvy founders?

This may very much be just me but am wondering if the feedback people are getting reflects a recent shift.
Has Pioneer acquired a lot more founders recently who are not technically literate?
Comment triggered by a bit of feedback I received today:
"I also think the planned activities and progress report can be better presented with less technical jargon. that way we can easily compare and monitor progress,simple is always a better way to commmunicate"
I'll admit to being a bit terse at times but this has seemed a trend over a few weeks now.
yep...welcome to the no code generation:)
LOL
Had to chime in on this, because I enjoy the general tech advice without too many details. Not a programmer and should consider myself a no-code founder. That being said, I know enough to be dangerous and enough not to say anything for fear of being very wrong at someone else's expense. I leave feedback that relates to how I can see a problem being fixed from a public facing problem, not back end tech. Probably why I am still grinding through as a no code type of person...prefer to spend time trying to sell. After all of that, I really enjoy the tech advice and have noticed it a little lacking the last few months.
Interesting. For me, this seems the case anywhere (Twitter, Pioneer, Linkedin etc.). I don't get bothered by it though, you need to segment your audience and focus on those who you think are the best fit ("target persona", etc.)
I'm technical btw (as technical as they come ), happy to give you feedback related to Touchgram
I even had one person introduce me to project management tools, e.g. Asana with a link as well.
If anyone would like to try a new PM tool I have www.can-ticket.com
I even had one person introduce me to kpi tools, e.g. Firebase with a link as well.
Firebase got KPIs? This is my metrics page https://skilledup.life/metrics
I've not really used Firebase. KT (my man) suggested Firebase for SkilledUp Life Leaderboard App. Contemplating. But I applied for $5k AWS Credits - Hopefully I should get the AWS email to approve it (https://techcelerate.ventures). So once again, may stick with AWS.
You can fetch basic KPIs via Firebase, such as DAU, WAU, MAU, engagement time, device version, region map and so on. It's integrated with Google Analytics in background.
Good to know. Thanks for the knowledge share.
I'm a techie founder :)
Prove it! We don't believe you. Say something techie!
Haha.. sounds difficult to prove it.
I think you're doing great Andy! And I agree, even though I'm building through no-code I don't think your jargon is too technical. It's the work that you have to do
Oh Andrew, what did you do now?
My plans for the week
More work on visual design http://tiny.cc/tged2
String operations in core engine
Final iOS12 featureset decided
However, I am building two other apps
1. SkilledUp Life Leaderboard to help our customers go from £0 to £10k MRR - so revenue-focused. Very much inspired by Pioneer
2. SkilledUp Life Insights - as we currently have no data on transactions, etc
(1) being built by a full stack developer Volunteer
(2) being built by one of my employees from Deal Lite.
We still have the same version I went live on 1st Aug 2020 at https://skilledup.life - crazy compared to you and others, continuously improving the design, usability, etc.
