Well it's been said here a few times but if I try to look at your request from the perspective of a developer you're trying to hire, I'd probably expect alot more equity than you're willing to give. For example, consider you work 40 hrs a week and you want me to work 10 hours a week, for simplicity sake. Since I'm working 25% as much as you I'd expect 25% the equity that you have. So if its you and a partner with 50% stakes working 40 hrs each ontop of my 10 hrs then I'd expect 9% of the company because that's how much of the effort I'm contributing.
