As a tech guy, hell, sometimes I wish I had another technical cofounder. A popular combo is usually one 1x dev and a 10x. Zuckerberg could code, Steve Jobs could code. You want to code fast enough to prototype your stuff and sometimes, at least deal with UI things. No code is still development and a lot of no code goes far, but you're probably trying to solve problems that Excel can't.
"How do I find engineers who are leaders and willing to work with me?"
The most efficient I've seen is just blogging. Speak about the problem from your heart. Social media works too including Instagram and TikTok.
For one thing, tech people are just flooded with offers from non-tech cofounders. So we see a lot of people who have ideas and then lose interest after the prototype is complete. After the tech cofounder spends a month or so full time building it. It helps to actually care about the problem and know enough about it for a long time.

- muzani 3y agoOoh, thanks, very good primary source. I assumed that because he was hired as a technician, he actually did technical stuff.
- ResourceToOlder 3y agoHe could code but not as a professional engineer. Your source says he was technical: > he was technical enough to alter and change and add to other technical designs He could do more too. > https://duckduckgo.com/?q=steve+jobs+atari https://duckduckgo.com/?q=steve+jobs+atari > Jobs was hired as Atari employee #40, as a technician fixing up and tweaking circuit board designs. > "So, we decided to have a night shift in engineering -- he was the only one in it."
