... If he wants to contribute the door will always be open for him.
Better do not use this door.
If you're going to make a statement like that without even knowing the specifics of what we're working on or who is working on it, then you should justify it with some logic. No offense, but it just looks ignorant. Somehow you think its better for Zoidberg to work alone, than with a team of researchers and developers sharing a common goal? Also without real compensation? We all know where that got this project, if you want to repeat past mistakes then more power to you. It's 2017, almost 2018.. a project needs a full team to compete with top tier market caps. One person can't do it alone. The workload is too much and the competition is too stiff.
Remember, I wouldn't of had to build a team if there was already one here. I'll let Zoidberg decide for himself if he wants to contribute to new codebase after we do project reveal. Like I said, the door will always be open to him. Regardless of his decision, I've had positive interactions with him since starting this endeavor and regard him as a friend.
