Sir, I applaud you for your skills at diplomacy. It sadden me every day when I hear of perfectly good engineers executing on half-baked ideas. Wouldn't a list of 3 great ideas be better than a grab bag of random thoughts? Think about the potential engineering hours wasted.
We should start a campaign: "Save those Engineering Hours, Stop half baked ideas".
This is the dumbest shit I seen. I been reading HN for 1.5 years and this is the first time I felt the need to create an account and post a comment.
I realize my comment is rude and I will probably be flamed. But it's just too hard to resist after reading the first couple ideas like selling ties online because the author believes people will pay to collect ties (first time I heard of this) and virtual girls to train. Regardless, I apologize for my rude comment.
