This reads like a call to manage one's self in the same manner that we were managed before we quit our shitty job to do our own thing.
I don't care how much I was making before. And I don't need to code as if there were a gun to my head. I'm not worried about being beat to market, or about the expectations of capital.
I'm just going to do the work I love, within a relaxed atmosphere, in the way that makes me happiest. This seems like a way to produce good work. And eventually, good company culture.
I agree; I work for equity- not hourly rates. I work towards completing my projects because I believe them and WANT to work on them. Tasks such as talking to users & adding features is fun for me.
I was actually hoping this article would translate the amount of equity most startup founders receive into a per-hour rate. Now that would be an interesting read.
