Please, these are posters on Hacker News. We work at tech companies and make large salaries. If you purchasing that much you are probably only spending $800 per month (prices get lower the more you use). While this is still around 10k a year it is definitely very manageable on a 6 figure salary
- danielbln 9y agoBe that as it may, GP said 4g/day is "not unusual", and I would argue that while not impossible, that much is certainly unusual (as in, not common).
- dismantlethesun 9y agoLots of thing can be not unusual while being uncommon. Hearing someone is a software engineer isn't unusual but we are only 2.54% of the working population in the USA.
- criley2 9y agoFair enough, if you make mad money in this industry, you could obviously afford it. That brings me to the next point: to smoke 1 oz / weed every 2 weeks, you probably smoke at least once every waking hour. So these HN rich kids who do it would almost assuredly require being high to do any work at all. Personally, I don't want my engineers high as a kite 24/7 while working for me. Personal time is personal time, but on the clock non-stop smoking? But I guess people get away with it.
