Which is...you know...a clone of weedmaps. > I'm looking for a coder who is a better coder than I am who also is more functional when there's a vaporizer next to her/his keyboard.

* So you want a person to code up the website while you smoke some pot and the split the profits? Yeah skippy, that's exactly why I want to work with people who are better at something than I am, so I can slack off. How did you guess?

  So what exactly do you bring to the table? The only thing I can see is money and a weedmaps clone could be run on GAE for pretty much free or near free, no need for thousands of dollars. I'm all for building better websites and better services, but this reeks of the "I've got this idea, you build it, and we'll split the profit" mentality that software developers hear everyday.

    I bring well over a decades' worth of operations experience, experience starting and running four companies, two which flopped, and one which I merged into a company that I sold. I'm currently spending all of my free-time learning Ruby and Python, and will jump into Rails soon, and am hoping to collaborate with a more experienced web developer to jumpstart that learning curve. I also don't come with the negativity and snarkiness you're demonstrating, but an open mind, a ton of energy, and a desire to build rather than to knock down and criticize others, something highly lacking in the tech community, as you're so readily proving.
