Well it's Gumroad, not Oracle or Google.

Still, how much they pay their developers a year? Would be over $150k I imagine, drop him $10k which he deserves and a sincere apology and we never would have seen this article, this would definitely cause a larger loss for them.

Yes, here they are: https://twitter.com/shl/status/1481349152621559811?lang=en

In 2021, @Gumroad achieved: • $185.5m in creator earnings, up 30% • $10.9m in revenue, up 18%

Surely, with $10.9m revenue, a little more than $500 would've been okay to hand out for this.

10k and a hoodie or something would suffice

Is it? They have a developer who streams constantly on twitch. Seems like they have multiple people working there.

Here's an article by Gumroad's founder that covers how many employees Gumroad has: https://sahillavingia.com/work

25 people work at Gumroad, but none full time.
