What I Wish I'd Known About Equity Before Joining A Unicorn

Disclaimer: This piece is written anonymously. The names of a few particular companies are mentioned, but as common examples only.

This is a short write-up on things that I wish I'd known and considered before joining a private company (aka startup, aka unicorn in some cases). I'm not trying to make the case that you should never join a private company, but the power imbalance between founder and employee is extreme, and that potential candidates would

Killing supervisor if any of it's child processes fail

The trick is to only register the listener for events that indicate failure, namely

• PROCESS_STATE_STOPPED
• PROCESS_STATE_EXITED
• PROCESS_STATE_FATAL

Once they do, we should send a SIGQUIT to Supervisor.

how to into git (and GitHub)

This is a handy reference for setting up and using git to contribute to projects on GitHub. It is by no means a complete guide to using git; use http://gitref.org for that.

Update: This site provides some excellent visualizations of what various git commands do. Highly recommended.

basics

setup

First run the following commands, using your real name and GitHub email address:

# When an RSpec test like this fails,
# 
#   @my_array.should == [@some_model, @some_model2]
# 
# RSpec will call inspect on each of the objects to "help" you figure out
# what went wrong. Well, inspect will usually dump a TON OF SHIT and make trying
# to figure out why `@my_array` is not made up of `@some_model` and `@some_model2`.
#
# This little module and technique helps get around that. It will redefine `inspect`
# if you include it in your model object.
