a for-profit entity will externalise any cost it can. why? in order to maximise revenue streams, nothing else. recruiting a volunteer workforce was a somewhat clever -- though disreputable -- business strategy on the part of Hackbright, and it appears to have worked really well for the folks who are now cashing out with this Capella deal.<p>i&#x27;m not speaking to the OP in particular but to everyone when i say this: out of respect for yourself and your own career, don&#x27;t donate free labour to a for-profit entity. just don&#x27;t do it.
