      1/ The question I'm struggling with the most for my @ycombinator app is, "why are you a solo founder?" The honest answer is timing. I won't and don't want to be one, but the opportunity came up fast, and not making a horrible very long-term mistake means recruitment isn't.

      2/ But the larger issue now is: what's the best way to do recruitment *at this moment*? Say I have need for a few different roles. Besides competence, I want to make sure I'm working with people I can work with *for a very long time*.

      3/ How do you do that as quickly as possible but also in a way that doesn't create an artificial environment or one that excludes the best possible candidates?

      4/ For example, I once collaborated with someone on a joint weekend project. The experience was really fun for us! Then we worked together on a brief professional contract. We did not work well together. It's a wildly different setting. We still get along but we both hated it.

      Forgive me for being elenchic, but would you say that necessarily made the professional contract a failure?

      The contract was fine and the client was happy. We haven't worked together since though.

      Would you think of that as discovery - you would never have worked well together, and you found that out - or creation - you now aren't going to work together because you had a tough time then?

      Discovery, I think. Our fun projects styles aligned well. For pay, I spent a lot of time trying to the eventually convincing the client that what they wanted was a terrible idea and that was the part he privately wanted to do.

          That may only apply to consulting. But in my experience isn't. I wish it was different but generally the fun thing you want to do and the thing you should do are separated by some tar pits.

          For sure I have the same experience. But it sounds to me less like you need to find people you can definitely work with for a long time, and more like you need to find people who have the emotional maturity to say "actually I really want to do it" to your face.
