Always funny to see the "modern YC startup" of two corp-types looking to offer the privilege of a crappy salary and tiny equity to a 'founding engineer' to build their product for them.

I would say I'm saddened but ultimately VC money far outpaced the small minority of people who can build things.

Every time I see some of these, I'm reminded I should apply and get the equity myself.

But oh well, I'm not a US grad coming out of MIT or whatever those kids seem to have
