Developers are people, and people have friends. It just so happens that many people don’t have developer friends. I’m not saying use and abuse people for their programming skills. I’m saying that you should make friends with people around a common interest – which is programming. Many friendships are after all created around common interests.

The idea with Makers Academy isn’t that you’ll be able to build a huge complex system yourself. The idea is that you’ll be able to build the first prototypes.

It’s not that you remove the need to get a technical co-founder, but more that you can postpone this need until a later stage.

The developers who built the original version of my idea had about 15 years’ coding experience as well as a degree in computer science.

The ludicrous claims by the likes of Makersacademy that they remove the need to find a technical co-founder do the start-up community a great disservice. Ignore these claims and find someone who’ll help give your idea the best shot, not act as a guinea pig for your baby steps steps in code.

Are you making friends to find a developer? That’s so sad… Try to pay a developer, usually it works pretty well. If you also share the same idea with the developer, give him a generous share of the business, that works also. Both together are the best option to have a rocket scientist developing cool stuff.

Buy please.. don’t try to “make friends” with a developer just to have stuff developed for free, it is so sad…
