> Why is it okay for programmers to be turned into lifetime billionaires for what amounts to an interesting hack and a little hustle (e.g. Facebook) I didn't say it was, and I don't expect me to become a billionaire either. To be quite honest, I find the startup culture of 1. Write tiny hack, 2. Get acquired for billions to be completely weird and wholly unsustainable. I just code because I like coding. If someone is lucky and gets rich in the process, good for them I guess.
