The only reason most people have a job is to make money. If this guy has a shitty mindset, then what of all the developers working in FAANG? What about most people that work for any large organization? Aren’t they all just cogs working for somebody else with the same type of mindset? At the very least the author is forthcoming and honest about his intentions. Perhaps there is nothing more “on the inside” than what has been presented. I’d rather take that instead of the usual spin about wanting to change the world.
