Don't you see the value that guy brings? He's an "Idea guy." You just need to do all that work stuff. Hell he's thinking ALL DAY.

- me2i81 13y agoIf I had a dollar for every "idea guy" who's pitched me on writing his great iPhone app for free (excuse me, for "equity"), I'd have...well, probably about $10.
- Turing_Machine 13y agoOh, yeah. Sometimes, though, they're friends and relatives who just aren't aware of how much work is involved. I don't want to be mean to them. I usually just ask them how much capital they have to invest in the joint venture. That's typically the end of it. :-)
- ianstallings 13y agoA friend of mine wanted to sell me an idea. I laughed in his face and said "I have a list of at least 50 of my own ideas I can work on right now. There's no shortage of ideas. No one pays for ideas, they pay for work".

- nhangen 13y agoI'm thinking all day after I spend 8-10 hours writing code...if that's what you mean.
- fallous 13y agoAs opposed to those mindless workers who don't think except when on a time clock.
- jthol 13y agoHey quit looking at the clock.
- nhangen 13y agoNow you're just being hyperbolic.
- presidentender 13y agoYour comments aren't doing you any favors. If what they're saying is bullshit, then shut up and don't give 'em the satisfaction (what do you have to prove?). If they're right, then consider what they have to say and act on it appropriately.
- nhangen 13y agoYeah you're right. I was hoping to engage in a productive discussion on the topic, but it's not happening.
- presidentender 13y agoFor what it's worth, your comments lead me to think you might benefit from some introspection. Burn the thesaurus and whatever business books you're reading, too. I intend only exactly as much disrespect as the preceding sentences would indicate and admire your entrepreneurship despite it.
- BigChiefSmokem 13y agoI wouldn't call this guy an entrepreneur, he's more like a greedy sweatshop master.
- kaonashi 13y agoO You know, for kids.
