"I have an idea, I can't test it or build it, so I don't actually know how good this idea is, but come work for me for free and make me rich!"

I am amazed that people have the chutzpah to act like that these days (e.g.: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=362066).

Call me old fashioned, but what about building the product first (and learning the skills needed to be competent enough to do so)?



Old fashioned. Do some marketing first, see if anyone responds, then decide to build the product.


Before you make the decision (or even do marketing) you should know that you're able to build the product. That being said, I highly doubt (given the fact these people don't even mention anything about their idea) that they did any market research.


Ha, so true.
