how much would you like to bet that not a single engineer here makes minimum wage?
- 1123581321 6y agoI’m not wealthy, so perhaps $20 that there are engineers here making poverty income? Keep in mind there are more than engineers here, was my point, as well as that it was weird to exploit a person who specifically identified as not wealthy to jeer at anyone claiming to have difficulty paying for no service.
- anon_tor_12345 6y agoYou're talking about a hypothetical that just doesn't apply - the person I responded to said themselves that they have equity in a company. They were not making poverty wages.
- 1123581321 6y agoPlease don’t conflate the poverty bet you initiated with the non-wealthy claim they initiated.
- Aerroon 6y agoRemember that there are people from all over the world here. I've worked for $600-700 a month on writing code before.
- stickfigure 6y agoPretty much every founder of an early-stage bootstrapped startup is making less than minimum wage - and many of us are deeply negative.
- anon_tor_12345 6y agoSo you took on outsized risk for outsized reward and you expect the same consideration as someone living in poverty? Really? So social services and etc? But then of course if you IPO you would talk about how you made it all on your own? Can't have it both ways.
