Heavy Ruby/Rails user here.
We basically run type checking on major hand-offs between modules using DrySchema/DryValidation, a gem that makes it easy to set that up.
Without doing this, the integrity of the codebase erodes with scale.

I agree. What started as a title that signaled the individual was there at the earliest parts of building the venture, it has been abused.

It just depends on if you have the background and talent to warrant that role. I think that is an exceptional case for someone to get funding and support to build a venture without any operating experience.

The folks designing the compensation plan and explaining the plan to the potential employee. I can't speak to unethical cases in which things are misrepresented.

The path to getting into these founder / c-suite roles is those founding engineer roles in which you can learn how to scale and operate these ventures.
The founding engineer role at 0.5% is not meant to be a role to retire on, but a stepping stone to those bigger roles.

From a business perspective, unlocking this precision for infrastructure is only worth the investment at the highest levels of scale.

This guy is a freelance designer. He hates bootstrap because he can't get work making simple styles to forms and other web elements because with Bootstrap, this work is already done!
Clearly biased... why not use Bootstrap in production? Just add your own branding to complement it!
