The 5th yearr of memory of 9-11 yesterday got me to thinking about whether I could forgive and help an Indianapolis Start-uP that seems to have loss their full high tech staff and the direction to produce products, services, revenue, and profits. It is not a question of whether I could or not.
It is the fact that their actions have 'put themselves in a corner' whereas the have a limited set of actions to fix the situation and the actions have to be completed in a specific way along with some financial considerations. In my experience sin training people I have foudn that programming can be taught effectively if the 'students' understand to admit when they do not know something or have particular skill and desire to obtain that skill.
The google domain name did not become valuable due to a name and a placeholder page. it took hard programming work and actual listening and communication skills. But at the same time an entrepreneur cannot become a high tech architect without going through the process of becoming a programmer.
I once again during the past 2 weeks had to trun down an entrepreneur because he wanted to be the architect of a new software/social service product and did not have the programming qualifications. He could not understand why he could not be a 50% collaborator on the architecture and even the hints of what programming experience is on your resume stil did not clue him in and thus the Indianapolis Domain Name Speculator Start-Up is not only miss-informed people with he wrong information and assumptions.
The Indianapolis Start-Up claims 10 years of operations. Well 10 years of just placeholders and 11,000 under used and under developed websites is just failure at the basic level. Maybe making apologies might be a better option?
