| First, of all, thank you. Seriously. Second of all, here are the gaps in my narrative: 3. He is more technical than I am, and the reason he is maintaining his PHP shop is to pay the bills, whereas I am fortunate enough not to have that concern for the immediate future. This unavoidable disparity in commitment levels may have caused a bias in me as to how invested we both are. 4. We have been looking for the CTO. It has been difficult and the guy we were pinning our hopes on ultimately didn't come through. As of now we have someone who is willing to build the MVP if we pay him, and we feel he'll do a good enough job. 5. He has intimated that he will pursue the project independently. Since I really want to bring this concept to life, I may end up doing the same if we part ways. 6. I'm not sure about this last statement... The extent to which our issues pertain to the operations of the business itself is obviously important, but equally so are the overall relations between the small number of people who are trying to build it. In general, I completely agree with your assessment of the situation, and I've suggested a call with him tonight to attempt once and for all to iron our our differences. This comment was mostly to fill you in on the details which were lacking in a post you were kind enough to respond to regardless. If you have anything to add given the new info, that would be great - if not, no worries, and thanks once again. |
