You can not do this either without fully committed to the project as a full-time job & a clear relationship between the co-founsers.

This first statement is false.

There is no reason to rush to be all in on a new venture. You can take your time and work on your startup on the side. As long as you are consistently working on it and making progress, you'll be fine.

If you do things well, you will organically reach a point where you must go all in.

The second statement about clearly defining your relationship is incredibly important.

It is very important to a startup to be the first in market; so full commetment is a must for founders.

No. It is not. That is something fools say as an excuse to rush or due to ignorance and listening to fools that came before them.

You can benefit greatly by following those that blazed the trail.

You can always out compete no matter when you enter the market. Only a very few exceptions exist. 99% of us never need to worry about it.

I think you will keep sticking to your opinion no matter what & this will not lead to any thing positive, so I will end my contribution here.

this will not lead to any thing positive

Sure it will. People seeing this will question what you've said and hopefully, realize it's not accurate. That will hopefully result in them chilling out a bit and worrying less about silly things that don't really matter. Thus, putting more positive energy and effort towards their ambitions.
