Actually let me be even more clear. I originally said these "founders" were like land owners looking for share croppers. What I am really trying to describe is these are "owners" with out land still thinking they are entitled to ownership of the work done by those who they coerce. I think there is no more transparent example of exploitation. It makes usury look like an equitable situation.
What land? What bricks?
- coryl 16y agoI think you're being a bit dramatic. I agree that programmers need a little more respect, but what you're saying is a bit silly. You can't coerce a programmer into doing work for you. They want either cash or stake for their work. They have the right to say no if they don't like the deal. I can't see how you could take that as a form of exploitation. Good programmers are in demand and are paid well; they have a choice, unlike low wage foreigner workers (for whom you could better argue were being exploited).
- dasil003 16y agoI bumped you back up to 1 because I don't think you deserve to be negative, but I agree with the other reply. It's a bit dramatic. There's a material difference between land owners exploiting a tough economy and young developers with stars in their eyes getting suckered in by a good pitch.
