Any monkey can bang out code
You have already failed. True anyone can write some bug riddled piece of dog snot. But programming and development is a creative endeavor. AKA an art. Jut as my kid can knock out a stick figure in art class, it does not make his work a Rembrandt. Sure it's art and "anyone can bang out art" but when I go and try to sell my child's art as a masterpiece, well we both know what the revenues are going to look like.
You already have a respect for the profession that is going to put you at odds with the kind of people that you would need, to get you anywhere further than a failed project. These people don't need you or your idea. They are creative they have plenty of their own projects and they respect their craft and only work with others that respect their craft.
As for the idea thing, it is worthless absolutely worthless, you need to understand that first and foremost. Great ideas fail in the market place for all kinds of reasons, it does not guarantee success. So you have to ask yourself what I am going to contribute and you need to be able to communicate that to a perspective partner.
You need to be able to say, hey I have this great idea for a product. I can't write code, but I am great at sales and marketing or accounting or business development or X. Or you need to be able to say, actually I can't do anything but I am going to bankroll the whole thing. Those are valid but if all you have is an idea and you want someone else to put in the sweat to bring your idea to life while you sit back and come up with ideas, well then you are SOL.
- fiftyone 16y agoSorry, but in the real world no one cares how beautiful your code is. Do you think any one of the 500,000,000 facebook users cares how beautiful the code is? I don't think so. So, coming back the the real world I have an idea for a BUSINESS, not a piece of art.
- kls 16y agoGood luck to you sir.
- fiftyone 16y agoPlease help me to understand what makes you think I came in here to beg for a programmer?

I have dozens of ideas jumping around in my head, > ... The problem is I need a partner. > I can't create this by myself. That sounds like you need someone to program. Just saying.
- fiftyone 16y agoPartner is not synonymous with "Programmer". At least not in English not sure where you come from. Learn to read and stop being an asshole.
- RiderOfGiraffes 16y agoHi again, You asked what it was that you had said that made people think you wanted a programmer, and I answered. I agree with you entirely that "partner" is not synonymous with "programmer", but the context of your writing gave that impression. From other comments it seems clear that I wasn't the only one who thought you must have meant "partner who is a programmer." You keep telling people to "learn to read," but multiple people have come to the same conclusions as each other which were clearly not the conclusions you intended. Maybe, then, it's not their fault. Perhaps you should learn how to write so as to be misunderstood less often. It's not easy, I know, but it might repay your efforts. So whatever your fantastic idea might be, good luck with finding a partner, programming or otherwise, to discuss it. I have to say that your comments here make me believe in unlikely you'll have a productive exchange, but I've been wrong before.
