I find myself thinking about windsurf a lot even a week later I don't even understand -- as the founders you're already locking in generational wealth. Lock in 100m less and preserve your reputation, make the money less cursed Feels not only evil but EV negative, almost stupid

Being a well regarded exited founder seems obviously worth at least ~100m. Probably worth a lot more. Unless you just have literally 0 self belief in future ventures

@haridigresses @shinboson Not to mention salaries -- do you immediately lay people off to achieve that dividend payout? If that's the only way to make it work then the founders still deserve to be dragged. It's the equivalent of laying off 200 ppl with 0 severance
