TLDR; don’t feel bad about making obscene money because if someone is paying you that obscene money then you must be delievering that much economic value. An important missing point with author: Money you get tend to represent the value you deliver, not always. In many cases value you delivere is way way off than money you get. For example, lottery winner and a CEO who bankrupts the company while getting golden parachute. This is the reason why the web dev in authors referenced post is wondering if he is being overpaid for drawing boxes on web page. This is right now becoming universal questions for lot of people who live off of passive income or are in exec roles with as much as 1000X compensation. Economy and markets are not perfect. In aggregate and over a long term things might balance out.
