didn't see a place to put my contact info... I'll find that and do it now.

I've been in online marketing for years. Currently working at a large ad agency as a Sr. Search Media planner. 9-5 is not the way I want to go for the next 25+ years.

I am serious, and have reached out to a few programmers I know to start discussing the idea. I just don't "speak" programmer so I'm not sure the best place to start.

Well, you've filled in your profile, but there're still no contact details.

Do you have any work you can point us at to show what you've done and what you're capable of? If not, can you create something to show off your skills?

That's why you need to find a programmer type that you can trust, buy them a beverage and shoot the breeze, including talking about your idea.

If you're really good with words you should be able to find some way to tell us the problem you're solving without saying exactly what your idea is. Tell us the pain you're taking away - that will sell the idea and make real hacker types want to get involved.

Just my $0.02.

The "email" line in your profile won't display, ever. It's basically only there in case you lose your password.

If you want people to be able to contact you, you have to put some sort of contact info in the "about" section of your profile.
