hello,

hmmm ... what exactly are you looking for!?

disclaimer: i saw your "Work for free, change the internet"-post in the "Ask HN: Who is hiring? (November 2023)" ...

lets state the obvious:

even "integrity tech people" have to eat, pay rent etc...

and as always in the "startup world":

* ideas are cheap

* the (technical) execution of ideas is hard work - eg. nobody wants to do this for free.

cheers!

This is only true for the majority of people

Obvious things don't need to be stated generally

Why spend energy on non-help

because out of curiosity i try to understand for what/whom you are looking for ...

so - in some kind of a "reverse conclusion" - its the somehow "rich" people you try to address!?

imho. these are the minority, who don't need to work to pay for their rent and food etc.

at the risk of stating the obvious again:

* why should they be interested in working for/with you!?

* to stress this: on your ideas!?

i imagine, being a rich person would enable me to work on my own ideas ;))

The idea that 'ideas are cheap' is common but wrong. If that were the case, we would get great new products every day.

Some people are technical and enjoy most building (here coding) but don't have a useful idea. Others have complimentary strengths and weaknesses. Most complex products we have were thought of, designed, and built by different people, as I'm sure you know.

Also, it sounds like you might just be in a different stage or a different personality type. Imagine when you've got your bills paid, but still see many problems around you, and most will not be ones that can be solved through profit motives.
