Their value-add is just way higher than the current pay rate reflects. It’s an issue with the tool startups use to run their businesses: either C or S corps. What if a startup used a DAO instead of a corporation? I’d suspect you’d see the rate paid out by the smart contract would be proportional to an engineer’s contribution. Measuring the engineer’s contribution is non-obvious though; it’s not a simple metric like LoC, bug reports closed, feature requests completed, etc.
