yes, it is easy to imagine things, but i disagree that idea guys should be shunned as TK did. if they provide the creative spark that gets a company to an eventually successful idea, that has value.
yes, hackers can go from idea to concept alone - but that's only if you have a creative brain to get you that idea. not everyone has a creative side, so those guys need idea guys, no?
- rbanffy 16y ago> provide the creative spark that gets a company to an eventually successful idea It's not the idea that has value - it's its execution. Every morning I come up with two or three crazy ones. Ideas are cheap.
- neon 16y agoYou have a very active creative brain, then.
- rbanffy 16y agoStill, unless executed, they are worthless. Without at least a bit of execution, it's impossible to determine which ones are good and which ones are terrible.
- neon 16y agodid i just get downvoted for speaking about this? lol hey, guys i'm one of you now, im just playing devil's advocate! ultimately, i agree. that's why i'm learning. however, i'd like to know how many hackers out there are thinking to themselves, "Gee, all I need is an idea..."
- spooneybarger 16y agoand most of them won't execute even if they have the idea. just because you are a 'hacker' doesn't mean you can execute. execute means a lot more than just hacking on an idea.
- neon 16y ago@spooneybarger - sure, it means knowing how to monetize, how to hire, how to market your product(s), etc. almost none of these skills are exclusive to hackers. there aren't any deeply technical barriers precluding idea guys (and im generalizing) from doing these things well, or better, than anyone else.
