I just pointed a few things out to a potential partner and a fellow entrepreneur. Namely, that he might have good ideas, but that he's not a programmer and it shows. Some matters of fact from our conversation:
- Does not know enough to know what's hard and what's a solved problem
- Does not have a colleague or advisor he can hash these things out with in
close collaboration and learn from
- Wastes a lot of time with underlings who just tell him "well, if you can
draw it out, we can implement it" but don't try to communicate with him further
So I just up and told him those things. I told him he needs an equal who understands the implementation end, and that a good working relationship with such a person would save him lots of time, prevent costly mistakes, and result in unexpected synergies.
In a moment, I decided that I want to see how this fellow reacts to getting a little truth-tap to the head. Unfortunately, I was disappointed, as he immediately started to puff himself up as a defense mechanism.

Oh well, I guess I'll keep on looking.
