#192Go get yourself another job: your a bootstrapper, not a long time runner.
Do the same somewhere else. Plus you learned a lot since then, so you should be able to get more responsibilities/remain fullstack longer!

#193Earlier quoted context omitted.
Assuming you're correct (very debatable), it doesn't matter: they're the ones funding the company, so they get to make the decisions. This doesn't always work out well, but it's not unreasonable.
One could make the same argument for hereditary monarchy. Which I would take as a sign that maybe it is unreasonable.
Except that taking funding is a voluntary action. Living under a hereditary monarchy is not.
