I 1000% agree with you (this is the author of the article btw). I am constantly in search of a techincal co-founder and I will give equity to the right person, but that takes time. I feel outsourcing can get me to a place to keep the project going until I find the right person. In no way do I see outsourcing as the end all solution :) I have the upmost respect for developers and truly hope that I can find the right fit eventually for Swayable. Thanks for your insight!

My fear for you is that the more you outsource to "get things going", the less likely a capable founder would want to hop on.

Unless you are paying an extreme premium (and you're beyond swimming in investor cash), odds are your system started as a technical nightmare, and is only becoming moreso by the day. As a dev I would be extremely hesitant of hopping on board anything with such a questionable technical past, especially if the product momentum is too high to make a total rework possible.

That is impossible. No one can agree more than one hundred percent, which by definition is the most that anyone can agree.
