and it was still hot.

10 seconds with copyscape would have saved me a whole lot of work, but I was too trusting. Sometimes it's awkward to check your partners work but you should do it anyway without telling them. I think the worst case happened because it was the customer who caught the mistake.


gently caress that. Tell them. Something like 90% of partnerships all fail... I feel like a way to avoid that is 100% transparency. All of my businesses that I have a partner with we share all access to everything; bank accounts, whatever. We check and balance each other, and we're 100% transparent and honest about it, and I think that may be the only way to give your partnership a fair chance at success. If you're worried about how it looks to check copy just say that there are only so many combinations of words, you might've accidentally written something brilliant that had already been written/copyrighted... Safe is always better than sorry.
