Is this a roundabout way of saying that they wish to hire folks on a short term basis, make them work really hard, pay pennies on the dollar and then fire them?

I always figured "bootstrap" means "I can't even get VCs who will throw money at anything to throw money at me."

Lol so you are denigrating companies that don't take VC funding? I imagine you'd have criticisms for companies which are VC-funded.

My company is bootstrapped which means we are forced to grow in a sustainable way, we listen to our customers and optimize the product for their experience, and we don't have to listen to any investors.

I'm very curious why "bootstrap" would be any sort of dogwhistle.
