Den danske app-suksessen Vivino overlot programmeringsjobben til mikro-freelancere.

? Trenger ikke å kunne kode

[Matsemann]

Tja, man skal ikke lese lenge på HN eller DailyWTF for å få servert historier om hvordan outsourcing ofte koster mer og gir dårligere resultater i lengden. Så selv om disse har hatt suksess med det tror jeg ikke det er noe å anbefale for alle.

 

Dessuten, hva skal man med disse danskene om de ikke er kabable til å levere produktet? De blir jo et ekstra mellomledd, "IDEA GUYS". Vi programmerere får flust av forespørsler fra folk med en "kjempegod idé" der vi skal gjøre all jobben og de skal få all profitten. Uten at de har bidratt.

 

Nobody likes the idea guy

We all know an “Idea Guy.” He’s the one that seems unbelievably intelligent and creative. He has an endless list of interesting ideas, but he waves his hand and says “minor details” when you ask him how any of them might actually work.

 

We all know someone like this because the Idea Guy needs a partner (that’s you). He can’t make anything happen himself, so he tells you all his ideas and waits for you tell him he’s a genius and that you should be business partners.

 

 

There's no room for the idea guy

 

Startups need people able and willing of doing the actual work. They need programmers, designers, and eventually folks to do marketing, support, and more. What they don’t need, though, is someone who’s just going to be The Idea Guy.

 

You know the type. It’s the “this thing is going to be Facebook meets Flickr, but for dogs! If we can just get 1% of the online dog market, we’ll be rich!” spiel. All idea, usually no money, and hardly any functional skills that’ll help build or launch the damn thing.

Vel, nå er det jo slik at disse freelancerne faktisk får betalt for den konkrete jobben de gjør. Mens danskene tar risikoen på om det endelige produktet faktisk blir en suksess, eller et stort tapsprosjekt.

Det har du helt rett i. Tilfellene jeg sikter til er det i hovedsak at man må jobbe gratis til "bedriften tar av", da får du utbetalt lønnen din mens idea-guy stikker av med potten.
