Sure, but what kind of product? Just got off of their site:<p><pre><code> →so, how much do experts make? Kennethdewittsi: very little, very few people actually have work that they are willing to pay for →haaaaa →so, you folks are monetizing the existing programming chat channels I&#x27;d see in IRC? →:| </code></pre> EDIT:<p>No reply after 5 minutes.<p>This kind of seems like a scam for squeezing extra dollars off of friendly developers. Sponging off free work.<p>Folks, don&#x27;t support parasites.

Opening paragraphs: &quot;When building products you should measure your progress by the assumptions you’ve managed to test, and not by how many lines of code you’ve written.<p>In some cases — if it’s possible to validate the idea using existing tools — writing code might actually slow you down, and should be avoided.&quot;<p>Worth reading if only for that. I could write an essay on why sitting around &amp; thinking can be far more productive when it comes to coding, rather than -actually- coding.
