> I get that, from "idea people," on a regular basis. They have nothing but contempt for us "Make It Happen" folks.
I met a pair of such idea guys once, they ran their own idea company. Their specialty was brand consulting and online marketing, but if that involved something as menial as web development they'd help with that too. The thing that made me bristle was whenever they talked about the feasibility of software solutions for their ideas, they said "Oh, we'll run that through the machine." You know, as if their software team was just a big machine that ingested ideas and spit out code.
Their idea company is no longer around. One of them decided that he'd rather design hiking boots than anything computer related; the other is a head of UI design at Apple.
