Hack/Paint is a riff on Hackers and Painters - but that analogy was that painting and coding are similar creative processes. I suppose the painter owning part of the product helps with the analogy, but it is a bit tortured.
In my limited experience, the people matter more than the rolls. The right person needs to be right in a bunch of ways. 4th on the list after integrity, energy, and intelligence would be skill set.
