What I want to know is who's the engineer he suckered into getting his first codebase up and running?

It basically summarized his book up in 2 minutes. It leaves out all the details and good information. It's articles like these that do entrepreneurs a dis-service:
a) You don't get the nitty gritty important details on how he really did it. You should definitely read his book to find that out btw. b) The focus is on the zeros and commas, making everyone think they can make million on teh internetz easily.

#5I enjoyed the article, but it was all over the place. It ended rather abruptly too. Props to this guy for jumping on board when he did, and getting out when he did.

Are the rest of the details in his book? If so, it's acceptable that a ~650-word newspaper account just provide a taste/tease; it's all the medium can do.

#10This guy has a huge ego (check out his blog).
But taking a 30K risk when you're 16 is pretty impressive, especially considering how poor his family was.
EDIT: Not his blog, his site.
