Incidentally, i had a discussion with a colleague(non techie) of mine, who wanted to learn programming so that he could make apps and earn money. People actually think if they learn programming or have an app out there in the market will get rich. At least this has been the reason I have seen quite a few people drifting towards programming, they see it as a shortcut to realize their million dollar dream overnight.
But the story out here in market is tough, bro! "It takes 20 years to be an overnight success."
- mej10 14y agoHonestly, someone's willingness to learn programming just to implement their idea (if they stick with it) would be a huge positive to me. It is the people that think 99% of the work is having an idea that dishearten me. "Oh, if you implement my idea I will let you have 10% of the profit." Great... "Yep, the only reason I'm not rich is that I couldn't think of the idea for a social photo gallery for cat pictures. I am just not creative enough to think of such amazing ideas."
