I am planning to build a product that will service software developers. during the planning phase while I am trying to gather feedback, how can I gather feedback without giving away all of the great ideas that they could steel?
1) Hire people smart enough to do the work.
2) Pay them out of profits.
This way they'll keep quiet, because if they speak, they lose money.
3) Also know, your idea isn't new... "There is no new thing under the sun."
In fact, the worst ideas are anything new.
Always do something... that's already been done... either do it better or do some "seemingly new spin".
