You have a very active creative brain, then.

Still, unless executed, they are worthless. Without at least a bit of execution, it's impossible to determine which ones are good and which ones are terrible.

did i just get downvoted for speaking about this? lol hey, guys i'm one of you now, im just playing devil's advocate!

ultimately, i agree. that's why i'm learning. however, i'd like to know how many hackers out there are thinking to themselves, "Gee, all I need is an idea..."

and most of them won't execute even if they have the idea. just because you are a 'hacker' doesn't mean you can execute.

execute means a lot more than just hacking on an idea.

@spooneybarger - sure, it means knowing how to monetize, how to hire, how to market your product(s), etc. almost none of these skills are exclusive to hackers. there aren't any deeply technical barriers precluding idea guys (and im generalizing) from doing these things well, or better, than anyone else.
