The presentation was on outsourcing generally, not just software engineering and the audience was very early stage companies (some yet to be founded). For example, you can barter for a service or you can negotiate payment terms or even equity for service. To that I say baloney. Even without cash you have many ways to outsource.

He argued that software engineers don’t finish what they start, and that you’re better off paying a technical person than partnering with one.

Another option is sweat equity. It is important to realize that most people who are willing to work for sweat equity are not a) the best, b) in demand, and c) going to put their heart and soul into your project.

Two years ago I got the bug to do an online recruiting startup and I began the hunt to find a technical co-founder - a software engineer who works for no cash - to help me build my dream website. You may get a software engineer to start something for you, but they wont stick with the project when it gets difficult.

Lots of business-y, idea-type people who say they’re looking for a co-founder are, in reality, looking for what is best described as an “engineering bitch.&# Date for a bit, then split the equity.

The question itself didnt attempt to ask whether equity or salary was preferred. Another respondent told me personally he would only consider joining up if he got equity. They hated it when non-technical people wanted more equity just because they came up with the idea. Many try to get me to be a partner and offer me equity.

But what I think was hard, and it was something he couldnt consider was that it would be harder to find a *maintaining* programmer, and how much it would cost to run the software, because of technical details he didnt understand.
