> Now divide the money that was lost through the number of heads. This is the theoretical ceeling

So, if we assume a $10 million loss divided by 100 heads, that means your ceiling is -$100,000 if you were to organize yourself.

Let's see: Six months to build a Facebook clone on an average developer salary plus some other business costs will put you in the red by approximately $100k, and then you'll give up when you realize that the world doesn't need another Facebook clone. So, yeah, a -$100,000 ceiling sounds just about right.

Don't quit your day job – as true as ever.




For a day lost? So its 31 days a month, this value muptiplied with 52.. 161.200. 000$ - not good, not terrible.


Given the formula, the ceiling will always be negative. Never good, always terrible. Hence why most people would rather work for Zuck.
