If you ever need a "brutally honest friend" who "won't hesitate to tear it apart" then let me know, i'm good at that. However, I like to think I add more than just tearing something apart, I also try to provide practical advice on how the idea can be changed or improved, and good qualified reasons why i'm tearing something apart. It's important to ask opinions from people who not just present you with problems, but also potential solutions - just hearing problems can be very negative.

People who will go on to lead very normal and responsible lives temporarily lose their minds. Experimentation is the thing to do and “being young” is the perfect fallback when things go wrong. Most amazingly it is OK to fail and try something else, a lesson that is quickly lost upon graduation. [...] […] Matt Inglot: Being a university student is a really weird point in time to be.
