Dang, I probably wouldn't show up every day either. Do you really need to meet every day at 8 AM? Maybe he didn't have anything new to discuss. The meetings are probably not so important in the grand scheme of things. How is everything else progressing? Meeting every day at 8 AM could be a big waste of time. Perhaps that time could be better spent actually building something rather than having discussions. Personally, I keep quite busy with work, so if I were in this situation that meeting time might be the only time I would have to work on a side project. I'm a freelancer and I generally work in teams with other developers. We try to avoid meetings (chat or voice sessions) if at all possible. More effective is an email which the other person could read at any time. Meetings can turn into a serious time sink which can eat into the day. Everyone has their own preferred way of working. Go ahead and try to find someone who is a closer match to your preferred way of working, but you will need to compromise as well, especially when you are looking at partnering with someone as opposed to hiring this person as an employee.
