Go to local programming and tech meetups and talk to people. Where do you live? In some places this may be harder to do than others.
In general, if I was at school and some guy walked up to me and said "Hello. Are you interested in opportunities?" I would probably think you were insane. This has actually happened to me twice.
Might be a good idea to include your contact info in your HN profile too.

You get some excellent advice on a question that you put out for the community to answer and then you go and put down the person that answered you.
That's a pretty weird attitude. If you didn't understand the advice - and it is very clear to me - then why did you bother to ask the question in the first place ?
After all, you are saying that your co-founder is not working out, the attitude you display here is making me wonder if it isn't you that isn't working out.
To be able to take advice when given and to be able to ask follow up questions and communicate openly without being abrasive in times of disagreement is one of the things any co-founder, including you, should bring to the table.
