Yeh. Also the specific question, again review the actual BList
challenge, is far too small to be a "free labor" deal. These guys
have multilmillion dollars of VC money. They really do not need to
slurp even $10,000 worth of "free labor." They will likely pay
the person they hire $80,000 to $120,000 per year plus stock
options. It makes _no_ sense for them to steal a few thousand
dollars worth of code.
Um, so?
Surprisingly, capitalization does not seem to affect those kinds of folks.
I have seen managers collect pencils at the end of the day in
multibillion dollar companies. One manager decided he needed to save
$2.00 per day on electricity and would turn the Versatec plotter
on-and-off continuously--burning out a $20,000 part on it. I have seen
companies try to get interviewers to fix their bugs (as a consultant, I
see this in about 20% of the folks I get called in for--needless to say
we don't do business) in the interview.
Chiselers don't care.
While I chastised Gabriel's attitude, I'm also not stupid. Bastards
exist and will try to take advantage of you. The trick is to try not to
carry the attitude over from the bad ones to one that might be good.
