He read something from Joel Spolsky that said the best way to get new customers is to add new features. Anyways, we are a startup with almost a year live. None of the employees have ownership/stock and all are salary. Salaries are at normal industry rates. What should I say to him when we talk about this again?"http://a.fsdn.com/sd/facebook_icon_large.png (http://www.facebook.com/sharer.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fask.slashdot.org%2Fstory %2F11%2F01%2F13%2F229205%2FAre-10-11-Hour-Programming-Days-Feasible%3Ffrom%3Dfb) http://a.fsdn.com/sd/twitter_icon_large.png (http://twitter.com/home?status=Are+10-11+Hour+Programming+Days+Feasible%3F%3A+http%3A%2F %2Fbit.ly%2Fg7B41F)
