Not the same as being a founder is not == nothing.

Being an early stage employee takes guts, it's respected and often they are going play a ginormous role in the success or failure of the company.

But's not the same as being a founder. There is nothing to get bent out of shape about. It's just different.

Similar to how the President bares the ultimate responsibility and stress even though the brave soliders in the field and the generals that command them pay the ultimate price at times.

Not getting bent out of shape. Just politely disagreeing with Chris. :)

I appreciate Chris a lot for the time he puts into his blog and I have acknowledged that numerous times in my comments on disqus.

But I disagree with him on this topic.
