Where to look for programmer that "will complete me :)"

Posted by thepaceclub on Sunday June 22, 2008 @11:21PM
from the self-post dept.
No, I do not think I'm the business genius with all the ideas that someone simply codes at my behest. I have a very (un)healthly distaste for MBAs / B-School lazys. 31 year old proven-entity starting companies since 20. I love hackers, their attitude, and I know what I don't know. Let's prove that it can be done - together.

Help!

Nothing about the project and no way to contact you. You're off to a great start.

Agreed.

And frankly, I would start by cleaning up your grammar and losing the smiley face. Though many "hackers" may not like to wear suits and may like to play beer pong, they are serious professionals that deserve respect. This solicitation feels disrespectful.

Secondly, I would articulate exactly how you would add value to your future partnership. Of course, like you hinted, having an idea hardly counts.

Good luck.

Well, here would be a good place to start. But you'd need to be clear and honest from the start. What is it that you want to do, and why and so on...

Programmers(or what you call hackers) like things to be specific.

from a business 101 perspective - pitch the product you are working on first
