Just out of curiosity, and this is something I've been meaning to ask for a while, how does the whole startup only having one tech guy (who isn't a founder) work? I've seen this scenario referenced many times on HN and I'm still having trouble picturing what the incentives are to work for such a company (as opposed to being made a cofounder) when it sounds to me like you're doing at least as much work as they are. I would normally think the sum total of all development (I'm lumping things like specs, coding, documenting, and testing all together) to be at the very least close to 50% of a startup's value, so if there is only one developer, he or she would seem to be worth about half the company. Is this kind of startup less software oriented than the kind I'm describing?
