Yeah, I can't tell you how many Valley newbs say they have a startup idea, they just need coders, and ooh, they can't tell you anything about the idea because you might steal it.
These are the same people who end up living in their cars, then moving back home with Mom and Dad.

- VonGuard 14y agoWeird, couldn't reply to this, but then, after I posted the above comment, I suddenly could reply... Must be a timing thing.
- drivebyacct2 14y agoIt is a timing thing to prevent flaming or irrational replies. You can always click "link" and then you can reply.
- VonGuard 14y agoWhy can't I reply to the comment below this one? Anyway, in response: yes, i agree, if someone can't tell you their idea, it's probably shit. Most of the time, when someone won't tell you their idea for fear of you stealing it, their idea is Groupon for cats! Or Travelocity for Jews! Or something else equally stupid.
