I joined a startup with 3 engineers include the CTO. This is my first software job and after I joined for three months, the CTO hasn’t shared the codebase with anyone in the company yet. He seems like doesn’t want to share the codebase bc he’s afraid that people will steal it. What should I do
Readit NewsIt probably doesn't exist, or he really is that paranoid. Either way, this sounds like a toxic situation and you probably don't want to be there long-term.
Yeah he’s extremely paranoid. He explicitly said I don’t want you to see the code because you may save it somewhere else and also said “If I were you, I would totally do that”
So what are working on without having access to the code?
I have been just working on isolated helper functions
leave, or sign a contract that allows you to see it, and work with it.
