I didn't realize there are two ways of looking at it until your comment. It didn't occur to me that if you randomly have Oxide on a list of 40 other companies to apply to, and you expect to talk to them about compensation as you would with most others, you're going to have a weird time because they have an uncommon policy.

But on the other hand, Oxide is very up-front about it, and their CTO is happy to go on HN and chat about it. So not knowing about it makes you look like you didn't do your research before the interview, or knowing about it and trying to force the issue anyways makes you look kind of arrogant (if you don't agree with it, you can just not apply).
