Software is just ideas that are refined in full detail. Nobody would claim that the value in software is because of physically typing in code; the value is in the ideas that preceded the typing. So to claim that ideas are worthless without qualification is indeed ludicrous. What people usually mean when they say this is that abstract, unrefined ideas are worthless.
- loceng 13y agoI'm not so sure this would hold if you applied it to real-life circumstances. I could be telling you an "end point" idea - which only would have come from all of the refinement, even if the idea itself encompasses a large scope. Not trying to start an argument, I just don't think most people who say "ideas are worthless" have really thought through this statement..
