This is total linkbait. Neither the startup nor the programmer are named. The split between cash and equity in the mysterious programmer's compensation is not made clear. This entire article could be fabricated and there would be no way whatsoever to prove it.

Not only that but they are comparing the "programmer" to a VP which is not exactly the same.

That's right. Depending on the VP, a programmer is worth more. :-/

It sounds funny, but it is true. Someone who dreams up and implements something like Google Search is worth a lot more than a VP, of which you have twelve in a dozen.
