Yep this stuff is a dime a dozen and is a big reason why someone with just an idea is not taken seriously by technical people, those of us who have been around for a while have seen it all. Half want something for nothing and want to take it and run if you actually produce it and screw you out of any profit from your work, history is littered with tech guys getting screwed by idea men / con artist. It's almost like it is a game to them, to see if they really can screw you out of every penny and steal your work. They loose in their mind if you get one red cent.
- rick888 15y agoThe other problem with idea people is that they haven't risked anything. I've been partnered with a few idea people in the past and if the project isn't finished quickly, they usually move on or want to do something else (and all the hard work you put into it is for nothing). If a non-tech person can't offer me connections in my app's market or cash for funding, they won't ever be a partner. I also now have problems with acquaintances giving me simple ideas that I thought of before (or are in the process of implementing) and claiming that they gave me the idea.
