Sure it is definitely possible to for an artist to get someone else to create their artwork vision, but it's a whole lot easier and cheaper and quicker and the outcome is like to be better if the artist can do the painting.

On the contrary, when I get a vision of a product in my head, I feel utterly compelled to write the code until the vision is complete.
I feel like this must be what happens to artists - when they get a vision for an artwork, they must feel compelled to create it.
If the founder with the vision does not have the skills to create their vision then they must pay others to do so.
So I think the comparison extremely apt.

There are extremely successful artists who pay for other people to create their work. Similarly, artists regularly pay other people to make things for them, such as frames, etc.
There are a lot more artists who are technically skilled that don't have a creative bone in their body. You might as well pay them to create your work so you can leverage your best talent -- your ideas.

#5Software founders who can't software are like painter artists who can't painter.
Software is a tool, just like any other. Not all businesses have to differentiate themselves with this tool.

An person who pays others to create their work can be called a lot of things, but artist is not one of them.

I disagree. The art was clearly created. I don't think the mechanical act of creating art has supremacy over the creative act.
In fact, I'd contend that as a society we've agreed that the creative act is supreme to the mechanical act. Architects, directors, large scale-sculpture artists. Their works are created by other people, they merely provide instructions for other people to execute.

Speak to any artist or musician and you'll probably find that 95% of their work is unfinished...
