Before Spencer joined Carbonmade, I was right there with you. As the coding half of what was our two person design firm (Carbonmade was a side business at the time), I also handled the finances, server administration, and the onslaught of miscellaneous tasks that come up. It was getting to the point of being overwhelming, and things begin to be neglected. The least of which was our support account.

While today, it's amazing to have Spencer taking care of these things, delegating my workload in the beginning was a bit painful. We had stacks of paperwork to exchange and coordinate with our lawyers and accounting company. With OCD, was also difficult not to nit-pick ever single detail in the beginning. But as it began evident that he knew his shit (having ran several companies before joining us as an equal partner), these tendencies quickly subsided and our productivity skyrocketed.

Carbonmade is a triumvirate: one designer, one programmer, and one business guy. I think this is the Holy Grail for a three person startup. I think PG would agree with me?

For a three person web-startup. I guess you have different tasks and roles in an oil-exploration business. Though I guess having a business guy and a technical guy can't hurt.

Haha! That's rough. I was computer science for the first two years of college back in 2002 and 2003. I had a few small projects that I worked on where I had to do both the programming and the other stuff as well. I found out early on that I was a lot better at the other tasks than I was at programming so I looked for co-founders that were talented programmers. You may want to figure out what you do best and then pair up with another person.
