The most insightful statement IMO: "If you're going into business with somebody that you've never actually worked on a project with, I'd recommend starting on something a little easier and smaller before creating the next Google."

I've often wondered what the difference is between working on an open source project on the side and working on a startup. The differences seem to be in expectation and in emphasis (what users want rather than simply scratching a personal itch). Now it starts to appear that there is a continuum between the two. Perhaps an open-source project is a good way to find co-founders.
