You said it much more elegantly than I could. To add to reasons why it's hard to find a co-founder, it's harder to find a hacker co-founder when you've just started on the path to hackerdom, as is my case.
Yes, I didn't even get that far. This may be the biggest hurdle. Of all the hackers I've ever met, I wouldn't even approach 99%. I've seen their work.
I know 2 rock stars who are local and I've worked with before that I would love to be with now. One is laid up after a horrible motorcycle accident and the other is going through a nasty divorce. Lunch and phone calls, yes. Co-founders, no.
Interestingly enough, I'm corresponding off-line with several people from this board. Who knows, maybe that will lead somewhere.
Willie Sutton robbed banks because "that's where the money is". Do you think if he was a lonely hacker, he'd be here now?
