Don't dishearten him. I think this is more location based. As someone in Tel Aviv I get a lot of these. Friends in less "Startupy" regions in Israel don't.

To be more general - these "founders" know they have a bigger chance to find a technical-co-founder (I'm using that very liberally) is in a place with lots of programmers.

actually i was refering to entrepreneurs, not programmers. some of them think "important thing is founding the idea, any programmer can code it".

With that I can agree. Ideas are worth nothing. Execution is what matters. And luck. Mostly luck.
