I'm guessing you missed the news over the last couple months of GitHub[1] and Rap Genius[2] each letting a co-founder go?

This doesn't change the fact that those two are still awash in cash. They could easily be part of the rich guys in this program and this Dating Ring thing would welcome them with open arms.

Meanwhile, Joe Dev who is working 10 hours a day will be fired for saying "Hee hee hee, look at this huge dongle I just got." at a tech conference.
