The nightclub analogy is appropriate. The truth is that the idea person isn't even necessary. It's easy enough for two technical co-founders to play that role

The nightclub analogy is appropriate. The truth is that the idea person isn't even necessary. It's easy enough for two technical co-founders to play that role, the rare exception being an idea person with unique experience in a niche industry.
The idea person who invests a few months in learning a language is infinitely more attractive to a technical type. Nobody wants to be in a partnership, knowing that someone is depending on them 100% to accomplish the overwhelming majority of the work involved.

- mgirdley 13y agoI don't think two devs can always do what a biz guy and a dev could do. There are often things that "Business People" will do better by specializing. For example, developing a direct, high-touch sales model. Most devs have little interest in that. So, a business guy is often good to have on the team there. (Hey Joey!)
