It might seem that way in theory, but things like intellectual honesty and focused strategic conversations are easier said than done. At the time, we spotted these problems but addressing them was difficult and it often seemed the way forward was to plow through.
My lesson learned here isn't too just be intelectually honest more or just have more focused conversations. I've found that in practice its the empathy of having walked the same path as my cofounder that makes the effeciencies possible, easier and even sometimes natural. And the rivalry dynamic has become more useful and healthier.

Unreadable on iPhone. When you zoom in the text becomes blurry.
In Chrome on Android I'm getting this really weird "fading" effect in the top right: http://i.imgur.com/RkWOHw4.png
Use the Reader button in the address bar in safari when on the iphone or ipad to get readable text.
Same for iPad.
Maybe I'm just missing something, but something critical like keeping strategic conversations focused, intellectually honest, and positive seems to have less to do with the founder skill sets (and the amount of overlap in them) than it has to do with personality, previous startup experience, and having pre-aligned expectations.
