No, I won't be your technical co-founder
Here's the problem with silicon valley:<p>Engineers think they rule the world.  But in reality, product people rule the world.<p>It doesn't matter if your other "non-technical" co-founder sits on his ass all day and you work your ass off...because you have to understand that one angle of perception--one simple spark of an idea--can create just as much value as your sweat work.<p>"Point of View is worth 80 IQ points"<p>When you wrote "Your are easily replaceable"...you are 100% wrong.<p>YOU are easily replaceable.  You're just the coder who builds the thing.  Once MVP is launched and the company raises funding, you could easily be replaced because I guarantee you there are thousands of engineers just as good as you.<p>The product guy, on the other hand, is the DNA of the company.  He forms the vision, culture, management.  You can't replace that.
