Bros, you need to to kill that attitude asap. It’s that kind of mentality that hampers innovation and true problem solving. I dey take God beg you, stop looking for “get rich quick” schemes and try to build something of real value.

don’t kill that attitude. its that kind of mentality that accelerates innovations…
Who told you only developers are trying to make money using their computers… stop the one sided thinking… there are easier ways to earn without learning how to code. Coding just gives you the ability to create a product… Creating products is a very important skill.
Go and read sites about making money… stop wasting your time on radar trying to understand why some people don’t see any value in locally made products…
we all have different opinions whether the opinions favors you does not matter…
You need to accept the fact that there are people who just don’t like anything locally made no matter how good it is…
STOP WASTING YOUR TIME TALKING TECH AND START READING ON HOW TO EARN.

I feel you fam and I will definitely follow your advice. Happy Friday to you.
This is the saddest thing I have read on Radar. You cannot be world class if you see software development as a “fast way to get out of poverty”. The work is slow, and unfun, and hard, and deliberate. It is not fast but if you keep at it and you are lucky - you will get out of poverty. However it is a consequence - not an aim. Focus first on impact.

I’ll agree with @iaboyeji on this. I’ve read most of this thread with disdain. It may just be a personal opinion, but I think “There is no right way to do things, everything just has it’s own advantages and disadvantages which you must come to terms with”. People tend to cut important corners to make the quick buck. I think our second-hand attitude to business is faulty, even from the grassroot level. I study philosophy because it shows us how things can be, as opposed to how things should be. In the grand scheme of things, I think if you produce something of value, actual value, which has to do with solving a problem, physical, communication, psychological etc, people will subscribe if it solves their problem. Tech is not an end in itself, it’s a means to solving a real-world-end. The problem is in the streets, not in the cloud. If you don’t set out with the intention to solve an actual problem, you’ll end up with yet another mediocre app. Your tech is not about you, It’s about who it’s made for.

because uber didnt start the way they are today in quality doesnt mean we should also start bad too:
Why dont u build the 2005 thefacebook and expect people to use it in 2015?
or preferably build the 2010 smartphones and expect to 2015 users to use it. atleast a 2013 model will still make be okay
MVP must not be top notch quality. What is more important for a startup product I think should be functionality at least at the BETA stage. You do not need to spend all your savings building a product you are not so sure will be accept like I did building pickmetaxi.com. (Just got to know that after building the Android app not being a developer). I should have tested the market with the web app alone.
Anyway, I think its better you build something than do nothing.
The second I read this post (https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/amazon-vs-flipkart-uber-ola-its-capital-dumping-good-mahesh-murthy), I remembered this thread. Thoughts?
Read this too about competition
