This sounds like a disaster waiting to happen. No way I would let someone who wasn't interested in this sort of thing until he saw a movie take over as anythin

  His exact words were something along the lines of "The Social Network made me realize I don't just want to be an employee of a big company" I might have over-exaggerated or I might not have, but I interpreted that as "I want to work with you because I saw the Social Network."

    Back to the Future made realize I want to travel through time, and eventually ride a levitating skateboard. However, reality never quite mirrors the movies. It's great that your brother, after watching a movie that encapsulated about .000000001% of his total lifetime, realized he might want to pursue a different path in life. But, IMO, the best approach to this is not to think he is suddenly capable of taking over the technology operation of ANY startup. Maybe what wasn't clear in the movie is that most of the people involved in the early iteration of facebook had been performing their roles for some prior amount of time. Zuckerberg had been hacking for a while, the finance guy had been involved in finance for some time (he was the president of the investment club or something like that). You don't just watch a film and say "I'm CTO, bitch"

      Yeah, this is true.
