Thank you!

I will connect via rocket chat.

Thank you for that!

Where should I connect with you? I don't see any contact details in your profile.

Here comes Indians :)

Ah, the Y2K era!

Off topic, but is anyone interested in learning Godot? I want to learn Godot, and looking to team-up with someone.

I left a very big company because of this policy. This is deeply unethical.

I think, yes, this could be the main reason for engineers.

Sometimes problem solving needs some understanding of a domain. Otherwise it becomes difficult to solve problems in the said domain. Two domains that immediately come to mind are Security and 3D games.

I am looking to team-up with a generalist for 3D XR simulation projects who will be comfortable with NDK and Godot.

Now when I say generalist, I mean generalist in the 3D graphics/Virtual Reality/games domain. Anyone who will struggle with graphics technology, low-level optimisation will find it hard to contribute to the project.

So generalist term should be combined with domain. Otherwise it does not have much meaning.

In the UK, it is notoriously difficult to team-up with someone to build a startup. The mindset is very different. If you go to US, India or China, engineers are willing to take risk. In the UK, the conversation starts something like this:

Me: "I am looking for a tech co-founder; the startup is at an ideation stage, and I have already talked to people who have shown interest in the project. I think having a tech co-founder at this stage will help a lot."

Listener: "How much are you paying for the role?"

Me: "This is an equity-based role because the startup is at an early stage."

Listener: "So you want people to work for you for free??"

This doesn't matter if the listener is an engineer or not. In the UK, there is little understanding of how very early stage startups work. It is equity based, that concept does not go down very well with the population.

Tech co-founder for XR simulation project. I am looking for someone with 3D graphics/Virtual Reality/games experience on Android platform who will be comfortable with NDK and Godot engine.

> None of them are about what you're going to do in the near term future.

Okay, let us look again at some of the questions posted by OP:

1. How do you know people need what you're making?

2. Who might become competitors?

3. How do or will you make money? How much could you make?

These all look future tense to me.

Had the West accepted the request* of Russia to join NATO, we wouldn't have seen the emergence of cold-war again! After the disintegration of USSR, the West went into triumphalism-mode rather than showing humility.

* This request was by Putin few years before the Afghan war. Russia at that time was sharing intelligence with the US on the dangers of the Taliban to the West. In the initial phases of the invasion Russia also provided some logistical support to the Western forces.

This is like saying, if someone asks how do I say fit:

1. Wake-up in the morning

2. Do exercise

3. Stay fit
