I've been learning how to design and code over the last couple weeks and was wondering if I can pick up enough coding knowledge in 3 months to call myself technical from YC's standards/perspective or if that's super unreasonable.

My background: -Worked with a brilliant developer in 2015 to build video search/clip tech for my YouTube channel, proven understanding of business/technical logic when building code (aka: understanding what is and isn't possible with code) -Strong design/content background, picking up this side has been a cinch -Foundations of code learned but very little on-the-ground coding experience

I strongly believe in the power of knowing how to build on your own and am applying to YC as a solo founder. I've been in this position before and believe it's smart to build on my own, but I wonder if I'd be ready enough with 3 months of intensive learning, because otherwise I can't really call myself a technical founder and would need to find a cofounder. I'd be building a video editing tool.

What do you guys think?
