Every dev has experienced this:

Friend: "hey, wanted to ask you about an app business idea"

Dev: "(sigh) ok what's the idea?"

Friend: "ok hear me out, it's basically like the Google of toilets... If you build it, you can have part of the company"

I imagine this is how hot girls feel having to reject sad men all the time

Hear me out, it's basically a nothing burger served in a cool box.

Any drag and drop solutions for building things on nostr yet for idiots like me? 😅

Poe.com

But nostr bots and zaps?

The chatgpt of nostr?

Mayne even their own personal nostr assistant?

Just nor enough people here to make any reasonable amount of money with such an app

Everyone does podcasts.

Who's doing their general research and guest research?

Hahaha also as I designer I can very much relate to this situation.

Seeing the ego death after asking a few questions about the plan is also great.

this happened to me today

its worse.

when it happens repeatedly, I say, "Hey's cool if you have an idea, but here's my calendar, book a slot and pay me for the time to consult on your great idea. "

Don't do it for free anymore, your time is worth too much for stupidity.

The gambler in me always wants to believe there's a chance their idea is good

Out here seeking opportunity.

Like Pokémon, but gotta try em all, only some you clearly wouldn't waste time on. Lol

Been dealing with this for 15 years. I’ve come to realize that a lot of the ideas are actually good because they came from a need or problem. But instead of thinking critically about the problem and who might pay for a solution, non technical people jump straight to the first solution that looks like something they’ve seen before. Then they often can’t let go of their original idea that they’ve visualized in their head.
