Yes you can, if you are good.

I went to a mountain Bike trail competition, and watched the biggest masters in the world in this. Everybody there knew how to balance over the rear wheel(manuals), over the front(endos) and jump over a meter hight any obstacle, more than 3 meters with a ramp.

There it was a kid, 16 years old or so. He was not as good as the much older guys, but all of them were impressed about the guy. They knew that guy was good just looking at him.

If you want to impress devs you have to be better than them, and this is very hard on technical matters.

But you don't need to, because what makes a good product is not tech alone, but how this tech applies to human beings. Things like design or human interface, or understanding the market or people are also essential.

Quite often the tech experts are totally ignorant in those areas(no wireless, less space than a nomad.lame)
