The problem with this is that it leaves me asking, "Does cperciva know what a co-founder is?" A co-founder isn't someone you bring in with a one-way communication channel that does your work for you. That would be closer to, "my employees that I don't have to pay", except, well, you do have to pay for AWS.
There are lots of ways to shorten your path to market using external services, whether human or infrastructural. But they won't tell you that you're being a dumbass and help you steer the company in a better direction.
- jacquesm 16y agoJust having people tell you that you're being a dumbass isn't enough, you have to have the wits to realize they're right too (when they are!). Colin obviously meant it metaphorically but further down in this thread he says he uses HN for that. The harder part is to listen and act upon advice. HN can be easily ignored if what people there say is not to your liking, but with a co-founder that has put money on the table for their equity that would not be so easy.
