Look, you are very categorical in your statements, using terminology like never, always, etc. Why do you assume I am a non-technical person? I am very technical :) I am also not proposing an idea first approach. I am just trying to find likeminded collaborators. By all means, go build your idea yourself if you can :)

Also, online posts talking about how ideas are worthless are just silly. Of course, if you want to sell an idea, that by itself will not fetch any money. But in order to execute, you have to decide what you are going to work on first. At no point did I propose pulling this decision out of nowhere. I am interested in talking to potential collaborators who are interested in brainstorming together. Ideally, it would be engineers who are secure enough ( like me ) from previous success, such that they are not worried about the risk of working on something new

If you don't want to discuss, why post on a discussion site?

> I am also not proposing an idea first approach

Then why do you want to brainstorm? Why do you say the only two things you need are engineers and an idea?

Where did I say that the only two things I need are engineers and an idea?

I want to brainstorm because I am trying to choose what to work on next. I am not going to choose randomly. I am not a random person posting on this site. I've already done big things successfully and want to do more big things even more successfully in the future :)

Also, I do want to discuss. I don't want to discuss whether ideas are worthless ( I have monetized ideas before quite successfully ). I want to discuss the ideas themselves :)
