This stinks a little bit. A web developer for 14 years? And you havent backed up your code in months? I am not saying the story is false. I'm just saying that if your income depends on your code, back it up frequently. Also, how do you know the startup is going to be profitable in the long run? Because the CEO who's getting you to work for him for free says so? What have you been doing for cash the past year?
