This honestly sounds like a nightmare. A couple things:
1. "Do the ideation" is baloney. It sounds like you had an idea and decided how you wanted it built and then realized you couldn't do it, which is exactly why ideas are so cheap.
2. If you're bringing folks on as the initial engineers at your startup, they are not interns, and the only world where you're calling them interns is if you're trying to extract cheap labor from them because they don't know any better.
3. As an engineer, having somebody hire me who can tell me what to build, right down to the implementation detials and what APIs and frameworks to use sounds absolutely bonkers. You're basically describing micromanagement.
- lazaruslong 1y agoOkay, a couple things: 1) ideation is baloney. But you do need to have ideas. I dont particularly care how it’s built. I did try building it on my own, i just have other things to do. So I want someone more efficient to take it off my plate. 2) That would be true if they committed full time. I’d love it if they do. But until then, they are interns. As far as pay goes, i wouldnt pay any less per hour. Actually, i dont pay any less per hour considering I already have an “intern”. I just need to get one more to work with him. 3) I was only trying to tell what I can bring to the table. I guess a better way of saying it is that I would be someone who can understand their plan/strategy/implementation rather than someone who just has the user experience in mind. I rather not micromanage either.
