I've personally never worked with an engineer who thought that I as a person who would do UI/UX/front-end code deserved equal amount of equity as him as the other co-founder (backend engineer). And in all fairness, you can execute a shitty looking designed product with functionally that works and gains traction.
- exelius 11y agoSucks to be them; UI/UX guys are way more in-demand than back-end developers. The skill set is also way closer to the up-front product design that makes/breaks your company than back-end work is.
- dennisgorelik 11y agoDifferent skills are valued differently for different startups. For Google - backend skills were way more important than UI. For Instagram - UI/UX.
