If Tim Ferriss wasn't obnoxious before, he sure is now.

His prescription is:

* Look for "market trends" (As opposed to building things you know about and understand, and focusing on great products)

* Treat "your programmer" like a house builder you'd contract with

* Pay rock-bottom prices

* Make everyone sign an NDA so they don't "steal" your brilliant idea

Ugh. I hope this gold rush ends soon.

My favs from the "your programmer" comments:

"oDesk— Its work diary feature tracks the hours your programmer is working for you and takes screenshots of the programmer’s desktop at certain time intervals."

and

"Below is a screencast on how to upload an app to the App Store. As you’ll see, it’s a fairly confusing and tedious process. Best to leave this task to your programmers"

Its not Tim writing the majority of this
