At a discussion with a
At a discussion with a bunch of smart IA's a few days ago it was mentioned that IA's often have lots of ideas but aren't very good programmers (that's often why they became IA's - I know I did). So they can't experiment much in real life, and ideas stay in that fuzzy cool idea-without-real-life-feedback stage.
I have the same problem developing Taxomita: I have a beta going but my coding isn't top. So now I am experimenting with the old have-a-programmer-in-a-cheap-country approach. I will blog on my experiences, but Joel on Software is proving to be a great resource to set this up.
