If you really didn't want your employees moonlighting, maybe you should just pay them more so that they don't have to work 5+ jobs at the same time? (Of course they won't) and require them to be in the office.
But this is the archetype of engineer that companies really want: Exceptional at passing technical interviews, willing to work 24/7 to make it happen, but as cheap as possible but all made up for promising 'equity'.
This is an actual "10x engineer" that exists, but somehow it has upset some VCs because he was moonlighting at multiple companies as a hack.
The best part is, remote YC startups were targeted and they are all talking about banning Soham secretly on bookface.
It is now clear that some are "allowed" to hack the system of others to their advantage but you are "not allowed" to do it against YC.

- schmookeeg 1y agoBold strategy given how most vesting cliffs work. He was betting on not being caught for a year.
- nocoiner 1y agoHow do SV equity grant agreements work? I assume that even if he had cliff vested his initial tranche, there’s still a way for the company to cancel or repurchase vested shares if a “for cause” situation existed?
