Comment on How is it possible to start a business if you have no money and skills, but have an idea?
IvanOverdrive@lemm.ee 9 months agoWhen I was writing, I stopped telling people about it because of this very thing. “You are the vessel that will birth my amazing book idea upon the world.” Like, naw, mate. You have fun writing that thing. I’ll write mine.

Software engineers experience the same shit. “It’s Facebook, but inconsequential feature that no one will use”. I’ve started quoting people twice my hourly rate from my full time job and it’s gotten it to largely stop.

If people wanted to pay me to make their project, I’d consider it. But usually I’ve gotten people who think I’m going to work on their “idea” for months with no investment or compensation, then release it and cut them in.

Bloody hell. I’m training to do frontend right now. But I’ll have to remember that little trick.
