I'm not even going to try to reply on the sexist nature of the second half of this comment, but focus on the startup-related one.

Your guy switched to another company because you were on track to become rich off his work, and he was not. If you incentivized him right, he'd stay. Did you ask him why he left? Because if not, you really did not learn a lesson.

I knew someone would call me sexist. I know where you're coming from but I think people whenever they come across something that makes them uncomfortable just call it "sexist", "racist", etc. and call it a day. All I did was state the fact. You explain how it is sexist and if it's logical I will shut up.

Lastly, he switched because no one was getting rich off anyone's work. We were going through difficult times. But that was not the point of my comment. You blame me of being sexist but maybe you should also be less biased when reading someone else's words.

Well with all due respect, you yourself didn't address OP main point in your answer : Did you or did you not try to rightfully incentive your main coder? It seems to me that many founders want early employees to take the risk of a co-founder but with the reward of an employee.It always amazes me that some people don't realize that being mad a someone for acting in his best interest is actually selfish.

What was sexist about that?
