How I Found My Co-founder on Hacker News

For those curious like I was, here's the link to the discussion referenced...<p><a href="http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1506767" rel="nofollow">http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1506767</a>

Out of curiosity, how long have you known each other (perhaps defined by when you first received an email from him via your HN submission and when you considered him a co-founder)?

Do you have the content of the original post?<p>Did I miss a link to your current startup?

Great story ... I also posted on HN in frustration, nearly ready to throw in the towel on my programming career.<p>The resultant feedback completely changed my outlook and I haven't looked back since ... here it is:<p><a href="http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1815395" rel="nofollow">http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1815395</a>

Very interesting story. I went to a ruby meetup event and they told me the best way to build a team is to post what I have so far on GitHub. Just another thought for others looking for technical co-founders.

nice story and congratulations!
