Hell, maybe learn how to code, while you're at it.
It's not clear that OP DOESN'T know how to code.
Also, OP wasn't employee #5--he or she was employee #1, and sacrificed a year of earnings as a result. You don't make that sacrifice, then roll over when the founders unceremoniously let you go a month before you're due to vest. I say fight for it.
