Cool, and if this was a case of bike shedding over something that hadn't just cost that early stage startup 5 grand I'd agree with you.
However regurgitating a platitude that everyone, including myself, learned when we tried getting our first business off the ground doesn't add much value here.
Had this been a Database with 10million rows it would have cost them 50k, and this is incredibly basic programming knowledge.
Basic proficiency is a far cry from worrying about best technical talent and not a particularly egregious ask.
