That's what I'm asking. What does the "scaling" guy get? What's the fair distribution of wealth?
I'm not placing any value on "scaling", I'm asking what it should be valued at.
> Who wrote the rest
For argument's sake, let's say there's 10 devs who wrote the rest.
Let's say that in span of 12 months, after paying yearly gross salary of $150 000 to each person in equation (10 devs, 1 scaling/devops guy, 1 founder), $2 800 000 is left and we're dividing it.
How much goes to each of the 12 people in the equation?

- eulers_secret 4y agoThe only sensible move is to payback investors and yourself first. So, as little as they will accept. If you can afford to (maybe) loose them, give them $0 extra. Economy isn’t so hot anymore, folks with obligations will absolutely settle and take it on the chin. You have all the power here.
- zmxz 4y agoWhat I'm trying to get for an answer is straight percentages, because there's always this latent hate towards founders or bosses so I'm trying to see what would be fair in the scenario I presented. The "boss bad, worker good" is getting really boring and disgusting, just like not all bosses are evil - not all workers are good. I presented a scenario where there's no investors and where the founder did majority of the work.
