It was a rhetorical question.

I did build it as I explained. I turned the idea into a 'spec'. A very detailed 'spec'. The point is that you do not need to be a programmer to start "building' the idea.

And yes the spec has been converted into to php at a very reasonable price. We have two paying customers and are getting ready for a launch.

The spec drastically reduced the cost of getting it 'built'. The spec is a form of implementation so the 'idea' is no longer just an idea when it is put into a detailed specification.

So all you non programmers you can start implementing your idea now, Just start 'building' it.

Okay, that wasn't clear to me, but it's a good point.

You could write up some advice to other non-programmers / "business guys" unsure of how to start: "writing a spec" is indeed a good way to start building.
