> I think you can be a good person and an early engineer at a start-up that gets acquired for billions when the team is still small.

Can you name an engineer who was at a startup acquired for billions who themselves became a billionaire, and was not one of the founders?

Because there is a, to me, large gap between someone ambling into being a billionaire vs being an employee at a company acquired for billions.

And there’s an equally large gap between claiming someone is just an engineer vs one of the founders with controlling interests who are making the decisions for the company.
