Why we won't sign your NDA
- Feeble 14y agoCouldn't agree more and we actually have a similar piece on our company blog, http://www.cubeia.com/?p=1084 http://www.cubeia.com/?p=1084
- MalphasWats 14y agoI think that this comes down not so much to the arrogance of "Our idea is so good, we must stop people copying it!", but more the ignorance of "I read a lot about NDAs, they seem like something that might make people take us more seriously as businesspeople".
- zalew 14y agoI believe NDAs make sense when you're developing for unreleased proprietary platforms. If you get outsourcing work to develop a piece of code for the next Samsung phone, preventing you blog the phone spec months before the launch is probably very reasonable. Wannabes adopting bigcorp schemes - it's just cargo cult.
- corin_ 14y agoNDAs make sense in a lot of scenarios, just rarely do they make sense right at the beginning of a business relationship. In my (marketing) work I have never had to sign an NDA to start talking to a company nor have I asked anyone else to do that, however once we move into actually working together then I have both been asked to sign and asked others to, frequently.
- mustefaj 14y agoPretty meh. As much as there's a sea of ideas out there, ever increasing is the see of dev and design talent. Get over yourself. If there wasn't such an arrogance around your post I may have given it credence. I can tell you more, but my feedback requires you sign an NDA. Sincerely, An Internet nobody.
