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>"Why my code and ideas are public"<p><a href="https://sivers.org/ws" rel="nofollow">https://sivers.org/ws</a><p>I blogged about it to call attention to it for one main reason:<p>I wanted to see if anyone would "steal" the ideas.<p>Because it seems to be many (MANY) people's biggest worry about sharing any ideas: that someone will steal them.  See the comments in <a href="https://sivers.org/how2hire" rel="nofollow">https://sivers.org/how2hire</a> for example.  Also this from Jason Fried of Basecamp: <a href="https://twitter.com/jasonfried/status/683809719782215680" rel="nofollow">https://twitter.com/jasonfried/status/683809719782215680</a><p>Anyway - it'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.
