Yup. I have a hard time taking any of the whining on HN seriously. People being paid $300K+ but all they can do is complain that they attend too many meetings. People that job hop once a year but the idea of layoffs is high treason.
I’ve been chastised before for suggesting “there is no humanitarian crisis” when engineers (like myself) are laid off. A strange “I deserve to be employed like this” vein, which is natural, but wrong.
It is, however, a fact that a relatively high amount of HNers earn way over 100k due to the prevalence of people form SV on here. Tech salaries in the rest of the world are nowhere near those in SV.
