I read a bit of subtext into this.

If you've got 2.5 weeks to turn a hackathon project into a "company" to pitch to investors, it could be that the underlying issue your cofounder has isn't related to the copy.

It could be related to the fact you took 2 days off during the middle of your sprint to get the project ready while she worked through.

But I could be completely off the mark.

Thank you also for 'pitch to investors'. When you 'pitch investors' (like in the blog post) you are presumably either, depending on your cultural reference points,

1) Hurling them at a man who wants to hit them with a bat (a bubble metaphor?)

2) Tying them to the ground with guy-ropes so they don't get blown away (I won't try and find a metaphor).

This is a trivial aside in the context of the article but it reads in such a dissonant way, up there with 'could of'.

I think this is partly because whenever I've had an abrasive moment with someone like this, it's rarely because of the relatively minor issue at hand.

Well put and I agree 100%. Couldn't be more obvious when you see look at it that way.
