You mentioned your backend being a Rails app + serverless functions, what's the benefit of doing both there? What does your video processing infra look like, is that in one of those systems?
rhinoceraptor gave such a clear explanation of the process, that I'd honestly pay for an entire set of bio and chem mechanic breakdowns prepared by them.
The comments here are really interesting. What is the equity level where one goes from thinking like an owner to being an employee? At what equity level does one feel the things in this blogpost maybe apply? 5%? 1%? 0.5%? If startup are power-law gambles, then 0.025% can still be a great outcome.
Should a founder mentality be expected amongst early employees at a certain equity level? Why wouldn't someone want to hire someone who had that mindset, and then appropriately compensate someone for that?
Couldn’t his company be worth more than a trillion because it’s...adding far greater value to the ecosystem it exists in? And his share is in the ~100B as he captures the upside through being a founder and taking the early risk?
