They’re all Bay Area engineers. So switching jobs is an inconvenience with a raise on the other side. The changes aren’t their ideas but it’s not like they can’t refuse. They can just work anywhere else. They probably don’t care.


I mean… browse through HN for the day. According to its users you shouldn’t work at any company that pays well because they are all evil. At a certain point you just don’t care what people are writing on forums.


There's a bunch of them that don't seem too bad: netflix, spotify, discord. Maybe even apple, depending on your definition of evil.


Spotify? Really?


If HN had its way, we'd all program our servers using common lisp using emacs, serving pages with zero CSS or javascript.


Yes its truly awful for you to be held accountable for your place of work and its impact on the world. Completely unacceptable.


I hate making a ton of money and giving everyone in my family a better life. Really sucks.

The things you are holding people accountable for are very questionable in almost all cases. In most cases it just comes off as jealousy that someone is doing better than you.

I’m all for being held accountable. But i put very little weight in public opinion being something that we should even think about at this point.


> In most cases it just comes off as jealousy that someone is doing better than you.

That is certainly a very convenient way of dismissing something you find uncomfortable.
