DIY or Hire Help?

Hey everyone,

A friend of mine is working on a startup and trying to build an MVP. They're on a really tight budget and can't decide whether to code it themselves or hire someone.

They have some coding skills but aren't experts, so they're worried it might take forever and not turn out that great. But hiring someone feels expensive, especially since they’re not sure if their idea will take off.

What should they do?

Thanks for any advice.
