Hackers are not the sole proprietors of provocative and disruptive thought. Is it unreasonable to consider that a non-tech visionary could be the catalyst for the next tech breakthrough? Vision, the ability to translate it into code and create a scalable product may be rare indeed. The failure rate of startups bears this out - do startups fail because an inability to implement, or an inability to see a novel idea that will truly change the world? The "no idea" application may illustrate the need for tech to become open to the possibility that brilliant code does not define innovation and that hackers may have become "too close" to the problems to see them on a larger scale outside the tech community. PG has said, "How can you see the wave, when you're the water?" Has the proliferation of tech startups resulted in hackers becoming the water? I applaud the "no idea" application and the possibility that what those gifted coders may need is a non-tech visionary that can still see the waves.
