The Exchanges

Every argument clarity score on this site is built from rows on this page. Each question and answer was assessed with names hidden, the host's own answers included, on four things from 1 to 5: directness (does it answer the question asked), coherence (do the ideas follow), precision (concrete details and clear references), compression (says a lot per word). The weighted mix (30/30/25/15) is the exchange score. A person's published score averages their exchange scores on raw tape only, at least 8 of them, shrunk toward the cohort mean. Full method →

Every exchange below was scored with names hidden, four dimensions each from 1 to 5. An exchange's score is 0.30·directness + 0.30·coherence + 0.25·precision + 0.15·compression. The published score averages the raw tape exchange scores and shrinks small samples toward the cohort mean, so five great answers can't beat twenty good ones. Produced feed rows count only toward coarse estimates, never toward a full score.

Q Cool. Well, let's talk about that kind of co-maker strategy. I haven't seen that too much before or heard too much about that. So I'm curious, how does it actually work? How do you find great developers or product managers for this? And how does partnerships work for that?

A Finding a co-maker is really hard. Same as finding a co-founder. So I usually talk to other makers and I become friends with them and that runs for years or months. And then eventually when I'm looking for a co-maker, it's not that difficult for me to figure out who to reach out to because I see that I'm building a tool for social media. And there were these three founders building something similar in the past and they have failed. And now if I pitch them the idea that has passed the validation part, I have pre-sales done and I have some users, it's really easy to convince them to join. And we share the ownership of fifty-fifty. It's just regular co-ownership. Where I take care of all the operation, legal parts, accounting, and the co-maker takes care of the coding and support. If you want to be the co-maker people want to work with, the best thing to do is to build things in public because that makes it so easy for anyone else to evaluate you and to just see whether you have things in common, etc.

AI assessment note: “we share the ownership of fifty-fifty. It's just regular co-ownership.”
