It never fails to amaze me how many non technical people - run of the mill (fill-in-a-word) people are on "hacker"news.

The person who said that he was an idea person who executes ideas all the time that it was stigmatized by morons is right.

In programming in particular, coming up with "ideas" and executing them immediately in your programming is pretty much a constant. And it's arguably what hacker, a real hacker, means by definition of word.

My experience is people who don't appreciate ideas are the first to plagiarize them, steal, or cover it up. In fact, its arguably what a lot of current big companies that are stagnating the country are running on. Advice - make sure you have no people in the company you make that think that way. Make it part of the interview - give them an opportunity to say the acceptably stigmatizing thing, and then eliminate them.
