"The twinkle in their eye" I think that is exactly right and I can't expect him to share the vision.

I feel the only way I can tell he is working is that the Github repo is updated. He's an amazing programmer and back in college we were good friends (maybe associates), he has a tendency to have "short" responses which we understand.

I think I am looking for a "firing on all pistons" type of programmer.

I think if it's this easy to find critical points about him, then you ought to ask yourself why you should be continuing.

You might be able to end the relationship now, and stay as friends, rather than prolong it and fall out.

Always a good policy I find.

1-5 hours a week is like one piston at best. And one pistons engines aren't fast.
