Do you know game theory? If you look at it through this perspective this doesn't sound like a good strategy.

Basically the classical prisoner dilemma. The other devs with less moral can then outperform you.

It could be a valid strategy if you can increase your crediblity with this relinquishment.

Life is more than just empty status games and money hoarding at (almost) all cost. In fact, a good life lived well (TM) is anything but that.

But I write this on mostly US forum full of faangs and similar so i dont expect strong agreement.

A lot of folks here will be startup types though, and while there is the idea that you'll make it big, I think day to day people work at startups for the satisfaction.

I am on this very forum as an explicit effort to counterbalance that very view. You have my strong agreement.

Someone who is never rational is equally bad as someone who claims there is nothing else in humans.

I long for the days where it’s only my moral compass holding me back.
