I'd say that breaking free of either mentality is equally important. Everyone should recognize the choices they have in their careers, and in tech we have quite the choices indeed. At least for the time being, it's possible for skilled workers to join a company paying extremely high wages, but also to leave said company to pursue a big idea or to take a sabbatical.

While we praise companies for effectively pivoting after building a product that didn't seem right, we should also recognize that we too can pivot if we feel dissatisfied spending time in an office or if we feel a desire to join a team taking on a hard problem.
