Structure development contracts appropriately or directing the in-house team appropriately. And it made me come to a new realization: Every early-stage web/mobile/online startup should have at least one technical advisor, probably two. Do you really have control of the development? Is this person a CTO or a developer?

And in most cases they are not ready to hire developers either. Instead, what they should be considering is how to bridge the Startup Founder Developer Gap and exactly what they need in terms of Startup CTO or Developer. The startup founder is definitely not ready to hire a CTO. Great post Gabriel!

I just had an all-too common conversation with the founder of a startup who had spent more than a year working with a software development company who had produced a mess. The mess really comes from a developer who was willing to get started on a product that was not fully thought out. What's the User Interface Beyond the Web Site ?

I’m seeing and hearing that it’s becoming tough finding good developers again, at least here in Los Angeles. On Friday, at the LA CTO Forum , I heard from a couple of CTOs having trouble finding good developers. My company, TechEmpower , recently added a few top notch developers, but it wasn’t easy to find just the right people.

What worries me a bit is how often I read that startups should hire a developer / hands-on lead developer. But often the result of a Founder hiring a developer or lead developer or even a VP engineering is a gap created between the founders and the developers. How will we find and interview developers?

There's an old adage in software development that I refer to all the time: The first 90% of development takes 90% of the time. And I use it all the time now when I get the kind of message that I received: I'm looking for a web developer to continue work on my website. The remaining 10%, takes the other 90% of the time.

I am hearing from my project management team a bit of distrust in the technical capacity of our web development team.
