Ask HN: why is it so hard to find dedicated programmers?
I am building a tech startup which I have program a website on my own and have finish it and now in the process of launching it soon and start rolling. I have found a couple of programmers to join me on this adventure. But it seems things get in their way. And they lose focus on the startup. Why is this task do hard? And does a startup really need co-founders?

- freework 14y agoWhat do you mean by "things get in their way"? Are you paying them?
- schoash 14y agoYou should motivate them enough which also means compensating them well. Else you will end up searching for new developers over and over.

- musiic703 14y agoI am not Currently paying. Money does speak so im have to try to start paying I guess. At the moment it is hard since I have no money at the moment.
- digitalWestie 14y agoProgrammer here. A bit more context about your situation would be helpful. How many of them are there? How long have you been working with them? How long is it before they lose focus before you need to re-motivate them?
