It's time we start treating DevRel as a core skill for engineers. I've been lucky to learn alongside some of the best - shout out to the inimitable CJ Avilla for the inspiration on this one.
"The eight years I worked on Gumroad were full of personal ups and downs. There were months where I worked 16 hours a day, but there were also some months where I worked four hours a week. Here’s one way to picture that time:
Can you tell which is which? I can’t."
Great read from the founder of #GumRoad on his personal ups and downs over the years
I have strong opinions about distribution of stakes in a #StartUp to co-founders.
Many times the scheme is so that one person considers themselves as the main #founder, and is looking for co-founders with smaller stakes. This is often rationalized by work or capital already put into the #venture idea, domain names and such.
The real reason is entitlement and greed.
Looking at a venture from above, from first principles, it doesn't matter who has put in more work in the past, what matters is the future. Having contributed a lot to the common pool means respect and gratitude, not privilege and commanding stake.
If all founders are titled co-founders and no one puts themself the first as the founder proper, it promotes equal commitment, engagement and fairness. Of course there are other critical aspects for a start-up success, but lacking in those will cause unnecessary trouble.
That trouble is fully unnecessary. Just divide equally and don't consider your contributions transactional but as contributing to the common venture in solidarity. No one in a start-up is a freeloader anyhow, you tend to make sure of that, and you most definitely do not want to codify in the stake distribution that some co-founders are more freeloaders than others.
You need equal stakes if you expect equal commitment, engagement and contribution in the future. An inequal distribution is a symptom of having a founder team where there is no trust, and this means failure.
Don't make an equal distribution of shares to a team you pretend to trust. Rather get a team you do trust and share equally with them. If you can't do that, it is good to fail fast.

I’ve searched for accounts to follow using all these tags and found only very few, and none of the power users I follow on Twitter. There is still a wealth of knowledge on Twitter that #Mastodon does not offer yet. If you know anyone please recommend them so I can #follow
