He wants to get interns to do business dev. He actually said that to me.

Not afraid, I told him I'm sorry if I'm rude and that I'm not trying to undermine him, I just want to get up to speed on his thoughts and goals.

Hey thanks. This sounds like the first reaction that I had. Can you elaborate on experiences that are similar to mine?

He came up with the idea. Has no funding. He is a long time high school and college friend and the only person I know that wants to pursue entrepreneurship.

Yes. And he claims he is the "founder", and he honestly still hasn't been able to tell me what it is he will be doing while I'll be working my ass off writing code for this thing.

Keep in mind this isn't yet a real company. Just a google drive with documents.

When is the best time to incorporate and do a binding equity split for a new venture? I have a co founder and we've begun to talk about a 50 50 equity split as an S corporation. Before work is done, is it best to have a real entity formed?

What does this mean?

Wouldn't the process just die? It would say segmentation fault or something and return to the caller I would assume. How would you get a bash shell?

Can you define shell? Do you mean you can get a bash shell from an exploit in this code?

You're forgetting something about networked code. At some layer of the stack it has to be written in C or assembly.

That's not a warning. That's a runtime error.

I consider the fact that it is written in C a feature.

Is the GC open source?

Interesting. But this wouldn't work in a shop because the internal API would need to be maintained.

Where is the BNF?

Not a book, but the computer history museum has a silicon valley exhibit.

Why host it yourself? Outsource this.

Is this a pitch to sell your services?

How do you handle taxes? Did you incorporate?

The whole chip thing takes like 30 more seconds. I'm considering carrying cash to just save time.

My first instinct was that it was some kind of scam, but apparently these people did some hard research into my publicly available information (LinkedIn, etc). They didn't mention their name which almost set off a red flag for me.

How exactly does one buy IP addresses? Do you have to run your own BGP instance and peer with others? Could I, for personal use by a /22 and control my own network? How much does that cost to do?

They emitted oplines to the opcode array directly from the parse production.

If I were to build enterprise software in PHP, I'd use Zend Framework. Not sure why it's not as popular.

Is that all? That's a pretty generic reason IMO.

Do you mind sharing why?

What a surprise this is to hear! I didn't know LinkedIn was in the market to be acquired.

To address some points, I have already built a version of this product for a client. So, I feel like there has already been some validation. I wouldn't use any of the same code. Our no compete agreement expired this year, so there wouldn't be any issues.

My honest opinion is that unless you've written C, or assembly, I don't consider you a real programmer.
