Why would such individuals be willing to work as a contractor for this company in a great enough number and at a low enough rate to make this model scalable and profitable? Something doesn't add up here.

- gdilla 11y agounless they have a secret pipeline of talented coders who don't want to be in an office, live in the woods or on the beach, work 3-4 hours a day, collaborate minimally, and never have to worry about finding new work or maintaining a pipeline. Actually, that sounds nice. But still, seems like there's not that many around from MIT, CalTech, Google and Stripe. People with that pedigree have huge opportunity costs; why would they work for below market enough to make this attractive to the clients?
