This meme that ideas are worthless without implementations needs to die

- waynecochran 7y agoAn idea is worth about 10% .... execution 50% .... the remaining is timing / marketing / luck.
- samsquire 7y agoI fundamentally disagree. Without an idea you have nothing. 100% of human accomplishment is achieved by ideas. For the record: I argue that ideas are not worthless without execution. Ideas themselves have value. It's just not worthless.
- willywonkah 7y agoDo you even code, bro? Even if you do (and it doesn't look like you do from your submissions), that fact is that if nobody tries to steal your idea, it's probably not a very good one.
- samsquire 7y agoRude comment. I code. https://github.com/samsquire/ https://github.com/samsquire/ My submissions doesn't mean I do not code. I wouldn't know if someone stole my idea until it appeared in the world or I finished it.
- willywonkah 7y agoI see a selection of tools you've white labeled as your own, but no software applications of your own creation, just your opinionated means of deploying them, were they to exist...
- samsquire 7y agoYou are very rude. My github profile has software. The picture you are trying to paint isn't here.
- waynecochran 7y agoI don't know how many people who have approached with an secret idea for an iOS app... I just roll my eyes...
- samsquire 7y agoI'm not talking about _those_ people. Nor am I one of those people. I'm someone who gets shut down for trying to talk about ideas. As you are kind of doing.
- waynecochran 7y agoI guess I was just listening to (and resonating with) John Carmack: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dSCBCk4xVa0 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dSCBCk4xVa0 https://www.facebook.com/notes/kent-beck/john-carmacks-deep-thoughts-ideas-work-and-emotion/1051813558184841/ https://www.facebook.com/notes/kent-beck/john-carmacks-deep-...
- Kuraj 7y agoThere's nothing wrong with being the idea person - we call them clients...
- samsquire 7y agoI'm not one of those people. I'm one of those people who tries to talk about ideas but gets shut down by people who think ideas are worthless.
- willywonkah 7y agoRight. I have an idea for you, it involves the purchase of a bridge in Brooklyn... interested?

- derrick_jensen 7y agoAssuming we are talking about companies, then any value at all is derived from somebody using it. Ideas are fundamentally worthless without an implementation, but that's just because they are both needed for any value whatsoever. Also writing code and getting to MVP is a prefilter for dedication
