This is a good case study in how to not treat someone, especially a seemingly talented engineer. CEO’s hinting of money raised and legal threat is almost comical. The CEO should have recognized that this is a guy who is interested in this space and should have made every effort to hire/acquihire him. He may have had to use some of that VC money he was going to pay the lawyers but that would have been the best. If I were a VC in this company I would be very concerned by the immaturity of the CEO. EDIT: one more point: Would ReplIt be now the Copycat if they add the support for languages that the OP had added but were missing from Replit?
