Sir, I applaud you for your skills at diplomacy. It sadden me every day when I hear of perfectly good engineers executing on half-baked ideas. Wouldn't a list of 3 great ideas be better than a grab bag of random thoughts? Think about the potential engineering hours wasted.
We should start a campaign: "Save those Engineering Hours, Stop half baked ideas".
- jacquesm 16y agoEven most good ideas start as half baked ones though. The thing that's been keeping me alive for the last 15 years started as a bet for a bar of chocolate, several pivots later it was a top 300 website, sometimes it doesn't take much.
- J3L2404 16y agoThe difference between idiotic and brilliant is only a pivot away. Of course you still have to execute.
- jasonlotito 16y agoThe problem is, half-baked ideas themselves might not be fully fleshed out. Reading one of these ideas might generate a spark that will finish the idea. That being said, a lot of half-baked ideas proved rather popular. I mean, seriously, does "post what you are doing, but you're limited to 140 characters" sound like anything really worth while?
