Give it up, you're going to fail. If you have to ask something like that you've already lost. It's obvious you're just in it for the cash. You can get a loan

Give it up, you're going to fail. If you have to ask something like that you've already lost. It's obvious you're just in it for the cash.
You can get a loan and have someone do it for you which would just make you a VC or make it yourself. For the latter to work you need to be a geek with talent and tenacity. The sort of person who wouldn't need to ask that question for support.
In the end, less than %1 will make it and you will probably not fall into that 1%. If you really wanted to create something you would be coding, reading, and getting your hands dirty.
- rms 18y agoThis is unnecessarily harsh.
- uruzseven 18y agoBut he needs blow to the head. I'm pretty sure Edison didn't walk around asking people similar questions. People are surprising similar in all walks of life. People will read tons of articles about working out and never set foot in a gym. I know people with dozens of books on programming but don't know what a pointer is. It's procrastination plain and simple. If you don't have the get up and go, you'll be a loser asking others for assistance in getting your business going.
- mixmax 18y agoAs RMS mentions this is unnecessarily harsh. Besides I don't think it's true. The winners in the startup game are not the ones that can code, but the ones that overcome problems and persist. And are willing to learn new things in order to succeed. A guy that posts here, intending to learn how to program definitely shows some potential for persistence and learning. I think he will have better chances than most.
