Great idea! I'm looking for the same situation but in NYC (and because I'm homeless).

I am in NYC too! Except I got a home. It's hard finding people interested in design, programming and startups.

I promise we'll create a "productive techy-roommate finder" once I find the right people :)

Working with designers is an important and underrated thing for developers. I worked at a design firm for years and learned an awful lot.

It's a great selling point too. Many web projects suffer from, shall we say, a bit of friction between design and implementation. I sell myself to potential clients on my respect for, and ability to communicate with, designers.

Knowing a designer's vocabulary will make you better at what you do.

That's a great idea: techroommates.com. I would seriously pay for that.
