It's a guy with an idea that he doesn't know how to build, asking you to spend hours filling out a form then three days building something to see if you know how to build stuff. And you need to be unemployed and love the idea.

That should have taken unbounded time to find someone, not a mere 9 months.

Are you talking about some other scenario, rather than OP? (i.e. the archetypal 'co-founder dater'?)

OP is a technical co-founder - ex-Facebook and Stanford computer science, it seems.

The OP reads much like the archetype - it doesn't make any mention of building parts of it while searching, or of finding funding, or actually if contributing anything other than some ideas. Good to hear this OP can build stuff, doesn't really change the contents of the article as written.
