> Titles are for insecure people that need to have their egos re-inforced...
Can't agree more...I'm glad I got over the need for titles with my first (and maybe second) girlfriend(s).
I can't think of a time when my cofounder and I will prefer our actual (read: legal) titles as opposed to "co-founder". I suspect it would come when some external pressure starts demanding it, a la board meetings and VCs.
Well, titles can be pretty important if your startup doesn't work out and you end up needing to go join the work force again. Being the CEO of a company of 5 people isn't a big thing, but it's better than being "Junior developer" at one.
