Things I plan on doing today (Send it the same every day, as early as possible): (i) Homework - Required by school (ii) Reading 'X' chapters of a book, or Reading blog, code etc - Knowledge Acquisition To Help With The Project Or Personal Improvement (iii) Chores - Things that need to get done to live your life (iv) Thinking About The Project - This is how most "Features" get done. (v) Coding - Like 'Planning on adding approximately 100 lines of code'. To be clear, this is a fake measurement that is of no use to any developer, but for non-technical people, this is worth a lot.

And just before ending your day..

"FYI - I added 120 lines of code. This makes it 400 lines of code for this feature :)"

P.S: "e1ven" idea is much better :)

If the other startup is wildly successful financially, I stand to gain a bit financially, but I also believe, my contribution to the old startup will always be with me. I learnt a lot about people, process, growing a company, building a product, making connections, hiring, management etc. And I believe those are the things that will enhance my career.

Such an experience also brings an odd predicament in the form of infallibility and also may cloud your judgement about other non-technical people you're going to be involved in the future. My suggestion, is to keep an open mind, have well-defined expectation of business partners and their roles, learn & use delegation and trust & verify people.

Edit: or a victim of a crime. There was an investigative news story about this topic, in a la or a sf news paper about a month or so. I am searching for it.
