Ask HN: Idea factory?
What is an idea worth? If you are the best coder in the universe but you have zero useful ideas you will most likely be coding someone else's idea. Is it worth 10% of your new company that yesterday had no ideas?
- superioritycplx 10y agoAn idea is worth next to nothing unless you're the first to come up with it AND execute it.
- ParameterOne 10y agoLike shoes?

- ParameterOne 10y agoI agree about execute but that would be for the company to do and not the idea factory.
- inputcoffee 10y agoWhat is an "idea"? Is "social neworking" an "idea"? Is the language c an idea? When you say that the c computer language is an idea, do you mean the idea of a higher order language or the "idea" of the syntax of c? The question is ill-formed because the idea of "idea" is ill-formed.
- ParameterOne 10y agoI think the syntax is a lot of ideas under the original idea of the C language. Without the original idea of C as a foundational language there would be no reason to create the syntax for C. So I'm really not sure where the value lies......Which is why I asked :))
- ParameterOne 10y agoAre they equally weighted maybe? As one does not live without the other?
