Ask HN: As a bizdev person, how do you get a coder onto your startup team?

If you're a coder, chances are that you've been approached by three million people who want to get you working on their brilliant idea.<p>A few years ago, I was one of these incredibly naive "idea" people. I've since learned quite a bit on the business and marketing end, am cruising through the "Personal MBA" book list, have done extensive market research on my new idea, have mocked it up over and over again, have networked extensively, etc. I've tried learning how to code, but I'm so much more passionate about business development that I often lose interest in coding. I want to know this: What is it going to take in order to attract a talented coder onto my team? As a coder, what does a potential business co-founder need to do in order to impress you?
