Don't startup advisors like Tim Ferris do basically the same thing? Advice/market/time for a small amount of equity? The only difference here seems to be that it's developer skills instead.
Advisors should provide connections to get your business to the next stage. Whether that means helping you land a Series A or getting you intros to business partners, it's typically worth a lot more than dev skills - which is why they can justify taking equity.

The only difference between this guy and Tim Ferris is developer skills?
