I'm a single founder working on my first startup. I quit my job and I've been working full-time on the site towards the first launch for the past 2 months. I pretty much do everything by myself (from slicing PSD to sysadmin to coding the back-end to writing the Ajax interface, you name it, I do it). But I sometimes feel a bit lonely working all day, and I'd love to have somebody to bounce ideas with. I talked to friends over IM, but that's about it for my social life at the moment. It's a good reason that YC doesn't accept startup with single founder, since based on my experience so far, it's a real challenge to stay motivated and passionated about the project for an extended period of time. Having a co-founder to talk to is an amazing boost of morale and productivity, but I have to do what I have to do.

A few days ago I ran into a post here on HN about pair programming, and I thought it is a great idea. If you're free, and you want to do some pair programming, just ping me! I'm available on Skype and Yahoo Messenger as "alexnhatle". I start my day around 10AM CST and call it a day around 2AM CST (sometime a bit later if need to).

I'm using Rails 3b4, PrototypeJS, and TDD as much as possible. I wouldn't call myself a Rails expert or anything, I still learn stuff as I go. As a self-plug, here's a small project that I built for fun after quitting my job, written in JavaScript with PrototypeJS: http://alexle.net/experiments/jsdtd/ (code at http://github.com/sr3d/jsdtd).

Look forward to hearing from you!

Cheers!

Alex
