I am a developer, yet I outsource the development of my startup
Sorry but I disagree with this post completely. In fact, I hate articles like this.<p>A real developer who loves his project would never outsource major aspects of the project.  One might outsource the design, only because its incredibly difficult to create a great UI and have the know-how to code it as well.<p>One might outsource the slicing of a layout to CSS/HTML or something simple like that while dealing with IMPORTANT issues such as database architecture, setting up the server, etc.<p>To suggest that you want to concentrate on the "business aspect" simply means that you don't want to do the hard part.  By outsourcing, the article states: "I have more time and I can spend this time for marketing and blogging". ... Right. Because blogging and marketing is so very tough?<p>The truth is that you USED to be a developer. It sounds like you've realized this and outsourced the project to an actual developer.  If that's the case then you've made a wise choice.<p>In any case, best of luck to you.<p>Edit: It sounds as though I am belittling other people's jobs on a project.  Sorry, I guess to some degree I am?  I agree that I am a bit foolish to say that. I don't mean to create any type of hostility in this thread.  (Regardless I will keep my full comment here so this thread makes sense.)<p>My main point is that the author refers to himself as a DEVELOPER.  Therefore it does not make sense to me to outsource his own specialty.
