I Open-Sourced All My Business Ideas
Love it.  Two years ago I did this, and wrote a little something about it when I started:<p>&quot;Why my code and ideas are public&quot;<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;sivers.org&#x2F;ws" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;sivers.org&#x2F;ws</a><p>I blogged about it to call attention to it for one main reason:<p>I wanted to see if anyone would &quot;steal&quot; the ideas.<p>Because it seems to be many (MANY) people&#x27;s biggest worry about sharing any ideas: that someone will steal them.  See the comments in <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;sivers.org&#x2F;how2hire" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;sivers.org&#x2F;how2hire</a> for example.  Also this from Jason Fried of Basecamp: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;twitter.com&#x2F;jasonfried&#x2F;status&#x2F;683809719782215680" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;twitter.com&#x2F;jasonfried&#x2F;status&#x2F;683809719782215680</a><p>Anyway - it&#x27;s been two years now, and nobody has stolen any of the ideas.  It could just be that my ideas suck, but I suspect that the worry of people stealing ideas is nothing to worry about for any of us.
