Please excuse my bluntness, but who are you trying to troll?
a) You ask for somebody to marry you (your words) but don't tell anything about yourself.
b) You don't present a single hint of your ideas but ask what your potential significant other can offer (to stick to your metaphor).
c) Every "exceptional programmer" is good at analysis - my analysis of your post lead to a) and b).
Edit: By no means I want to deter you from pursuing your goal, I'm really just trying to give useful feedback wrt your post.
- task_queue 11y agoThe idea is the start up. Part of being an ideas guy is finding a group of people to answer those kinds of questions.
- zeckalpha 11y agoIdeas don't matter. Execution does. OP gave a taste of their opinions on execution. Seems sufficient to me.
- dylanjermiah 11y agoIdeas do matter, there are a lot of useless ideas. Good ideas _alone_ don't matter if you can't execute. Either way it's helpful to know what field OP wants to work in, especially when trying to find a cofounder.
- geofft 11y agoPart of execution is being able to competently execute the process of having an idea. It is just not the entirety of execution.
- the_impossible 11y agoI appreciate the feedback. I'm not trying to troll. I've been programming by the time I was 10, programmed a lot in C, and program a lot in Lisp. The two biggest skills I'm working on are writing and looking at a problem from the opposite angle. A big problem I've seen in startups is people get out of sync with each other, often from the beginning. To some degree this problem is structural, leading to a communication breakdown. I suspect the bigger issue is someplace between trust and honesty. People tend to be afraid of confronting problems.
