I was going to rent a random Airbnb in Lisbon. Instead I ended up living with the guy who became my CTO. Forkpad knew before we did.

The GitHub matching is eerie. My match and I had identical commit patterns — both night owls, both obsessed with performance. We shipped our MVP in 3 weeks.

I didn't come for a co-founder. I came for cheap rent in Lisbon. I left with a co-founder and $8k MRR.
