   Most of people I talked to seem to be ok with this; also it only is important for those who decide to maintain or create their own packages — agner users don't have any hassles with it. And it's not that bad anyway :) — plus if the package

   There are multiple reasons for this architecture: 1. central index/indices 2. granular overlaying (you can overlay specific packages and don't have to maintain your fork of a global repo) 3. granular permissions, allowing maintainers to wor

   The tax issue is very important, indeed. I would try to get some consultations about that. I wonder want might be the difference between CRA and IRS in this respect (I'm from Canada) P.S. You're giving a talk at Vancouver's hackathon this O

   That kind of employee that could work for equity. There's not much of those, but that's how it seems to work ;) It's not even necessarily full time at the very beginning

   a) That's what discount is for, isn't it? b) Well, that's up to a specific situation, just like in equity compensation scheme.

    Getting job at a normal company is also "safer" than joining a startup for just equity. This cash value will once be eligible for conversion to equity at a decent discount. I personally see this as stock compensation on steroids. With pure

    The point is that if the company will do well, he'll get the equity (convert). I can see a situation when a company gets profitable without funding and I guess this can be covered in the term sheet as well.

    Good point about unfamiliarity, too. Have no workaround for that so far.

    Brilliant idea! Now if you can add content indexing (i.e. a sort of ToC) for each interview, that will be just purely awesome!
