You will less likely get someone who cares your dream as much as you do. What I realized/found these days is that the most passionate people that love to work on startup ideas tend to have their own strong opinions on how things should be done. This creates a little bit of a management issue. Discussions tend to be filled with using esoteric technology or the "would it be cool if" or the "that's sucks, I could do better in 1 day" as opposed to focus on delivering the stable, high quality, 85% UI polished, version 1.0 of the product.

85% UI polished?!? It's a miracle if some people can get it to look 50% complete. For some reason, and by magic, the UI incrementally degrades given the number of days in the hands of certain engineers. I'm not saying that everyone is like that, but I'm pretty certain that if some engineers approached following driving directions the same way they follow the UI, they'd be permanently lost with no hope of return. 85%. Sheesh.

  Hey, calm down :P. I just grab that number out of nowhere. Anyhow, theoretically, version 1.0 should be simple isn't it? So would it be far-stretch to ask for 85% polished UI? (might be some bugs in the UI interaction code, but the look should not be superbad. At least not an eyesore :). But that's in theory...

    It's a fair assessment. In my view version 1.0 should be a MVP that addresses the basic needs of the user as they pertain to the underlying system. Decoupling the UI and applying it to the system via API is the ideal solution, but rarely do I see that happen in a 1.0 product when the product itself is in constant flux throughout development. But I would still like to see how the magic degradation happens from when an engineer receives the static UI and absolutely f*cks it up so that their version of "good enough" barely resembles the end product.
