1) Just because your technical co-founder got there requirements, is smart, and can do this stuff on his/her own, does not mean that you can EVER be hands off. It is demoralizing AND does not build a close relationship between you two.

2) Let the tech co-found show stuff to you, even if its code. Try to understand it or understand the significance. Tiny show-off sessions can go LONG ways towards morale. Also you can catch problems early this way.

3) Offer help even if being rejected. Again, helps with morale if the tech co-founder knows hes not in the boat alone, even if he he/she is the only one who can row.
