Non-technical founders are the best clients (fight me)

Unpopular opinion apparently. Give me a salon owner who knows her business cold over a 'technical co-founder' who read a microservices blog, every time. The trick is translating scope into their language. Change my view.

Agree, with one condition: they must be decisive. Non-technical + indecisive is the true nightmare combo.

Hard disagree, technical clients write better briefs. But non-technical ones say thank you more. I'll take the thanks.

The salon owner knows exactly what she wants — a booking page that stops the DM chaos. The microservices guy wants to argue about Kubernetes for a 200-user app.

Both are fine. The real axis is: do they answer within 24h? Everything else is manageable.
