@Nanos the way I see it if you got no money then don't do it. If you went to the shop to buy milk with no cash you couldn't turn around to the clerk and say well if the milk tastes good when I get home il send you part of the money. So why is making an app any different. The days of start up fame are over. Just don't support bad business practices.

Been facing this issue since the time I got into Programming. Once my friend asked me if I could build an Android app through which he can measure air pollution, soil pollution and noise pollution.. he even went further and told me , "you do not have enough experience in Marketing. I'll do the marketing and I will give you 50 percent of the revenue". 😂 I mean wow.. 🤣🤣🤣

@Hardy yeah. They try to prove u are a total dumbass apart from programin, and that, they will complete you with their sense of marketing and good selling skills.
I ended up saying to those ppl "all the commercial energy and marketing etc doesnt even worth the only maintenance of the code once delivered"
They can even say sentences like this "if id be a coder i would have been rich since long time ago, but you, you have no imagination"
Lol no, i just know how much time it takes to do not only a mvp but a real production software. -
@Nanos I understand your point but I think of it from this point of view:
1. One steve did all the hard work, but is that steve able to sell and reach somewhere?
2. The other steve, spotted work and potential, without the first steve would he be able to do anything?
3. If both steves got their shares why would there be a problem? They don't share same skills, we cannot say work needs to be 50/50 divided between them
It's funny because it's true
I've been doing agile wrong my entire life
Fellow developers,
For all people asking u to be partners of their "billionaire" idea, and to be paid from revenue ONLY when the plateform goes live or shit like this, BEWARE.
For all of them i had the same answer: "ok, ill share with you the project, but until it goes live, i am the only one who is giving sacrifice, and since we are partners, i want us both to do same level of sacrifices in order to deserve later the share of revenue... That being said, u have to pay the hours of devlopment, all of them, and when it goes live, from the revenue ill get, ill pay you back what you paid on dev cost"
It is the only way to be really even...
And if he refuse, ask them again "why? I taought u where 100% sure that your idea will work and become a billionaire why u think it is risky tp pay few thousands????"
... Now he is having second thaughts
