Done? Good.

Start coding today. Seriously. Today.

You need to find and talk to people one-on-one about what you want to accomplish. Go crash an upper division computer science class tomorrow morning, and look for students that "get it" – the kind that engage the professor, ask and answer questions. After class, pick one of them and talk to them about what you're building.

Search for new posts like "Show HN: ..." these are generally technical people that can deliver. Figure out if they have technical chops or just do launch pages.

Bonus: Get a t-shirt made that says, "Co-Founder Seeking Co-Founder" and walk around campus. Or stand somewhere.

Repeat this every day between now and Friday. If it doesn't work, I'll give you a full refund.

How did it go? I'm curious to hear what did (and didn't) work.
I'll let you know. Send me an email so I know who to update.
