I'd argue that's what business partners are for. You simply can't be good at everything. I tend to have the opposite problem this guy has - I see the big picture, but get impatient with the details.
I can code (well, sort of anyways...) but the thought "Is jQuery’s $().keydown routine hogging too much processor time? I need to profile it." will most likely never cross my mind.
However, I think I suffer from the same problem in that I'm continually trying to get myself to think this way and learn this stuff, just so I can try to implement my ideas.
- baran 17y agoYou mention you need partners. Do you think one person is more important than the other to the success of the business?
- jrwoodruff 17y agoIn a philosophical sense, no. Realistically, though, the more important aspect is not whether one partner is more important but what the team dynamic is like. If one partner perceives they are more important, or feels under-appreciated, then it's likely the partnership will get in the way of business and, ultimately, success. My belief is that in a successful partnership (as in marriage), both people must be comfortable in their quite different but equally important roles.
