might offer, so why me? It's the reason I have made this post and offer up the
decision to code things myself or outsource. I know where I have a weakness,
even if I learn to code, I still won't be as proficient as I need to be. So, I
will need someone.

I guess my hope is that by actually creating something and having customers,

entice a "tech co-founder" to come join up with me.

A CPA! Kudos. I know that is not easy, my fiancee just tested for her
CPA...but I would hate to see the code she would write : ) This is way before
your time, but Kenny Rogers had a lyric, "Got to know when to hold 'em, and
know when to fold 'em" which can extrapolate to your perceived need to do
everything. You can do everything, or anything, but where do you draw the
line? Janitor? QA testing? Chief Bottle Washer? I'd "hold" on running the
company, but "fold" on writing the code.

If you do decide to "outsource" do you mean offshore? Perhaps Rent-a-coder
isn't a bad idea, but just make sure the coder(s) are available after they
write the code, have them sign a non-compete, and possibly outsource a second
coder to review the code if you are not getting the warm and fuzzies from the
first team. Ask for well-documented code including an overview explanation,
approach, architectural considerations, and lots of comments. Ask for their
best work. Again, I wish you the best and I hope that once you get your
prototype up you let us all know so we can kick the tires with you.

One last thing: Stop worrying about the tech co-founder and get this project
in the bag! Heck, the more you type the less likely a Tech Co-founder is going
to want to come on board! Get 'er done!

Thanks Fate. Good luck to your fiancee, I know it's tough. If she needs any
advice on the

 might offer, so why me? It's the reason I have make this mail and offer up the 
 decision to code things myself or outsource. I sleep together where I have a weakness, 
 even if I memorize to code, I still won't be as adept as I need to be. So, I 
 will want someone.

 A certified public accountant! Kudos. I sleep together that is not easy, my fiancee just tested for her 
 certified public accountant... but I would hate to see the code she would write :) This is way before 
 your time, but Kenny Rogers had a lyric, " Got to acknowledge when to hold'em, and 
 know when to fold'em " which can extrapolate to your perceived need to do 
 everything. You can do everything, or anything, but where do you draw the 
 line? Janitor? QA testing? Chief Bottle Washer? I'd " bear " on running the 
 company, but " fold " on publish the code. 

 If you do decide to " outsource " do you mean offshore? Perhaps Rent - a - coder 
 isn't a regretful idea, but barely make sure the coder(s) are available after they 
 spell the code, have them sign a non - compete, and possibly outsource a second 
 coder to review the code if you are not getting the warm and fuzzies from the 
 first team. necessitate for well - documented code including an overview explanation, 
 approach, architectural considerations, and lots of comments. Ask for their 
 good work. Again, I wish you the best and I hope that once you get your 
 prototype up you let us all know therefore we can kick the tires with you. 

 One last matter: Stop worry about the tech co - laminitis and get this project 
 in the bag! Heck, the more you type the less likely a Tech Co - founder is go
