The interesting thing going on is, stars align. The kind of person who has to think about this problem should take equity. The kind of person who would choose to take cash isn't going to be hired at the kind of VC backed business that will end up being worth something.

Yes, a company will do very well if it fills itself with naive employees who think that if they work insane hours and sacrifice their life for equity (which they'll never get an exit event for) will do very well.

But you don't want to be that employee...

Man what level of weird delusion is this? Windsurf was an app for code completion not interstellar space travel lol.

Man this is a ridiculously naive take.
