Well yes. Joel has been at Buffer for 6 years and Andy for 4 years. Joel has 42 times more equity than Andy. How's that make sense ? Anyway, I want to stop pic

Well yes. Joel has been at Buffer for 6 years and Andy for 4 years. Joel has 42 times more equity than Andy. How's that make sense ? Anyway, I want to stop picking on this particular startup because, from looking at Angellist ballpark offers and various HN comments, this is seen as the normal. I find this reassuring in a way. That Silicon Valley is cocking up on this vital issue so vastly and consistently shows that it's still being run by fallible humans...
