Wanna team-up with an SRE to build a product and/or company?

This makes me think: maybe a neat little project would be "tinder for founders" :)
As someone who has extensive experience in dating IRL and Tinder, be careful with that analogy.
Problem in romance: rejection
Proposed solution: Tinder allows you to swipe so no rejection is felt because no one rejects you in your face.
The current reality: most men get very few matches. When they do get a match, it converts to a date at a 10% rate at best.
I think a similar unintended thing will happen with Tinder co-founders.

This is effectively what Bumble Bizz is trying to be.
It's terrible

Ycombinationor themselves have this product
Some years back there was a site called techcofounders.com, by a Korean guy in the US.
I had signed up for it. I got quite a few invites to be a cofounder, but none of them worked out, either because I wasn't interested, or the other the guy wasn't, after we talked a bit about their plans and my skills, i.e. there wasn't a match, on either of those dimensions.
But I thought the idea of the site was a good one, with potential.

Highly recommend reading all the stuff Amy Hoy has.

Is a good place to start.
You want to find people who need something, then build it. Not the other way around.
As far as finding a co-founder, I'd reach out to people you worked with and enjoyed. Don't forget it is like getting married without the sex, so not something to enter into casually.

We are building AI first observability copilot as a startup; check out @infrastackai and @msefaoruc on Twitter. We would like to meet other people who are interested in observability. we are looking for new teammates
I am very much interested. Can we have a quick meeting?
Firstly, this is my first submission, and anxiety is off the roof.
But, apart from that, I'd like to express my desire and passion to create a product, ideally with another technical co-founder.
I can't even be sure if I'd be criticized for asking it in this community, but, to be fair, I have already tried startupschool dot org for a few months, and I didn't find much luck.
A bit background about myself: I am a Sr. Site Reliability Engineer with 6+ years of production expertise, having hands-on experience in containerization and Kubernetes, GitOps, and especially FluxCD, different CI/CD vendors but specifically and recently GitHub Actions.
I regularly blog(ed) at developer-friendly dot com (prior to that, meysam dot io). I love what I do, and I am good at what I do. Now, I am confident that I can use all this gathered knowledge and channel it towards building a startup with another like-minded and passionate individual.
For your reference, here are the links to my profiles:
* linkedin dot com / in / meysamazad * github dot com / meysam81
I track ideas in Reddit & LinkedIn and I try to get inspired by other successful entrepreneurs, but honestly, I have no clue what is what! That is the main reason I am asking for a peer to join me building something together, maybe something in the following lines, though I am absolutely open to any possible other venture:
* Developer tools to increase productivity * Observability tool to focus on cost saving and low overhead * a SaaS of some sort that can deliver value to B2B and/or B2C
Please comment below to show your interest, or refer a friend you think might be interested.
I appreciate any and all helpful comments in advance.
