@xroad Now i'm not denying that the startup life is good, i'm just saying that its a huge ocean - with a thousand fishes for every great shark. In my case, i've been assigned my client so there's nothing i can do about it but , especially being a developer, i'm sick of every Tom, Dick and Harry coming to me with their 'idea' and warranting that i join them. I'd be all ears if they're ready to sit down and discuss their idea, but most of the time they're just - 'Hey i've got this amazing idea, code it for me and i'll give you 10%' . Sorry, no can do.

@drRoss Yea, i read this a few days back, sums up my point though i don't completely agree with everything stated in there. The author just seems like a guy who's tired of seeing every alternate guy trying to venture into the startup bubble, which i don't consider to be anything irritating at all.

@FleetAdmiral lol we all go through that. The first time I heard it I was like, really? I do all the work while you give me 10%? Yeah a space elevator to Jupiter is a great idea, I guess idiots like me can go figure out the details. Can you turn around so I can pay you on the back?
Once you get good with enough experience people won't try to pull that shit on you (as often at least). -
@xroad Well, thats just been my experience as a uni student. It'll hopefully become better as i start interacting with people who have been in the entrepreneurship business for a significant time :D
-
@FleetAdmiral yeah when you're young people don't take you seriously. They also don't care about wasting your time. I just told two doctors working on my startup they're full of shit in the last 24 hours

@xroad Woah sounds like serious stuff :O

@FleetAdmiral lol I said it nicely. It's always better to imply it than to say it flat out.
Lets all help them share their startup
How to vertically center in css..
We have a course in our uni where we're given a client and are supposed to make a product for him.
> Only, our client happens to be a startup guy.
> He's already mentioned that his app is worth 'multi-millions' countless times.
> And has already given us a job offer in his startup.
> And has offered to pitch the app to investors if we do it right and split the profit (He seemed almost convinced Google would acquire it).
All of it before doing any market research, testing, business planning or prototyping himself.
Yet people ask me why i hate on the hyped up startup ecosystem smh :/
