...why can't you find someone to work with?
the excessive examples of sarcasm don't help, and your other comments could be insulting, and offending the people that you're trying to get advice from doesn't give much credence to your cause.

- NSX2 19y agoWell, in general you're right. I just found the above poster's post (to which I responded in length) unbelievably obnoxious and pretentious. When it's the coding part, it's, "Why should "I" work on "your" idea ..." And yet, if there are any financial results, all of a sudden all the results of "my idea" are 100% his, and all of a sudden it flips and becomes, "Why should "I" ... share "my" results with you?" So when it's just an idea, it's mine. When there's money to be made, all the money belongs to whoever coded it and it's up to him to "share" any money made off my idea. But that's only if there's money to be made. It just seemed incredibly beyond belief and revealed the kind of thinking that makes me reluctant to discuss it openly with programmers. Like there's no real money on the table yet, but even hypothetical proceeds are automatically his property to share with me as he sees fit. It's like, if this is how it is when the money's not real yet, I can only imagine what it would be like if it was really on the table ...
