> like your personal life, don't get married until you're absolutely sure

I misread “personal wife” (in Kripky’s voice from big bang theory) and after I was done chuckling, I started thinking of something funny to comment about the other types of wives there are… then reread your comment and… yeah.



Haha, well, I'm going through a "divorce" now with a co-founder and unfortunately, it costs money, time, and effort to try to get my assets (code) back. He was never able to generate a dime of revenue after I brought the code, but now he wants the code (which I want to open source).

So yeah, in many ways, it is just like a marriage when you formally create a company with a co-founder. Don't do it unless you need to and if you do, make sure that you can get your assets back if you are bringing existing assets to the table.
