IMO his big win was getting an iPhone app dev (who can actually execute) agree to make an app for him on the premise of splitting revenue.
Either this was real early time of the "App goldrush" before anyone knew money could be made or the dev was a friend (post seems to imply it was a random twitter follower).
Anybody with a reputation as a good iPhone app dev get the age old "idea guy" proposition at least 3 times a week: "I got a great app idea.. I'll give you some of the $ if you code it just for me."

There's a difference between "I have this idea for a game, here's a sketch of a character" and "I have an idea for a simple app that I've already done most of the work on and it will only take a few hours to code".

- GBond 16y ago^ I rest my case ;)
- sgrove 16y agoMeh, Zack's the real deal, exactly what the poster mentioned looking for. He has some pretty good ideas, executes on them as much as he can, and outsources what he can't. I understand your point, I just think there's a difference between the stereotypical dude-bro idea marketing guy preying on developers and people who can carry their own weight.
- Unseelie 16y agoThe issue isn't that these people don't exist, but much as happens on dating sites, the women(devs) get message after message after message...It becomes incredibly time consuming weeding the -few- goods out from the chaf.
