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..."

@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.

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.
