RE: NEW TO STEEMIT? YOU GOT A GREAT IDEA? -- BEWARE OF THE STEEMIT IDEA STEALERS, THEY ARE LURKING WITH SMILES
'Mediocre writers borrow. Great writers steal.' - T.S.Eliot
If it's so rampant, why do I have no idea about what you're alluding to?
Lot's of development happening to extend the usability of the platform. SteemTools, mobile apps, bots etc. Everyone is chatting back and forth trying to figure out steemit api so as to build their app or whatever. Giving each other advise and poaching each others ideas... lol... Hope that helps.
And this is bad how?
Any major advances in science or technology always come from cross-pollination and the exchange of ideas.
I fail to see a problem.
There's a reason that ideas cannot be patented.
its different when your working on an idea with someone as a team..and the next day youre no longer a team and that idea has now become that persons....at the very least this is not a good team mate.
It's a bit more nuanced than that but okay what ever you like there are no rules. People offer collaboration as a ruse to scoop your work and its more than just ideas when you are sharing structure and code. All the guy is saying is be careful if you are going to invest your time and energy into a project. Also it takes collaboration to develop great apps and this actually undermines future development not helps it as you suggest. Your looking for a reason to disagree, cool. The reason for the post is to protect your ideas 'cause yeah they cannot be patented.
Which is a good argument for smart contracts.
yes smart contracts you got it moving on.
