Great response. Admitting you were wrong on an issue (hours) is a great step and that puts you amongst the small minority of people who can admit they're wrong.
That being said, there are several things to keep in mind:
* Your co-founder is an introvert.
* As others pointed out, if you want him to manage interns, you have to make it clear to him. Some (e.g., me) would never agree to take on a management role, no matter the money or equity involved, so you have to be prepared for him to say "no".
* As for deadlines, keep in mind that you know how to sell or (presumably) you'd have little to contribute to the company. Make sure you are not selling the engineer on unrealistic deadlines.
