I had a similar experience and, in that time, it sure felt like a major headache. But right now, I think thanks to that I had way more motivation, someone to compete and a clear goal to beat. And yes, I eventually "won" like you say you did. Competition never hurts when you're in it to win.
It was a major push that really helped me.
- adrianwaj 16y agoPeople who rip off your idea in such a way can be shamelessly destroyed business-wise. If one enjoys doing that, then sharing has no downside, it's like dealing crack: once they take your idea and run with it, you own them.

- scorpioxy 16y agoI don't think it's an accident that both of your stories had a similar ending. The person who comes up with the original idea is probably the one with the most passion for the thing in the first place and is much more likely to put in the needed effort to see it grow. That, and the fact that the idea in itself is not as important as the execution plan. The person who came up with it probably was also thinking about that a lot more than the person who stole it. If it were me and I liked the idea of another person so much that I could steal it, I would probably quit my job and find a way to work with them.
