Ask YC: Where to find co-founders?
I am sure this gets asked a lot, I am a developer and I am looking for a flash/flex guru to play around with some ideas and want to know where you guys found your co founders?
Kidding aside, I think that either you already know someone that fits the bill, or you might as well forge ahead with your plans at the same time you start networking a lot. It's sort of like "where do I find a wife?" - you can do things to get out there and meet people, but you can't just go get a good one from one day to the next.
I agree; also, the marriage analogy you mentioned before is a good one.
Hah... I haven't had my drink come up through my nose in years.

Maybe we need a "Hot or Not" type site for this: instead of photos, you can post code you've written, or other evidence of your skills.
How about giving people the ability to find "their perfect match" for starting a business?
I am also interested in comp sci --- but I hugely prefer the math dep's gender ratio.
No way! You're competing for the same resource: a cofounder! If he finds one first, then you're screwed!

Then it can help you with anything, or do the rest of the work for you while you sleep.
