Whatever dude, I'm not going to argue with you here. The beginning of this article starts out by explaining what a stand up is. It's not written for tech workers it's a general piece. And just working at any large technology company puts you in a very small fraction of the population and the truth is a lot of people vy for these positions. If you work at Slack coming out of undergraduate, you'll be a top 1% earner for your age bracket. That is pretty "elite" by a normal person's standard. My original point still stands. Realize you're living in a bubble if you think a normal person would not consider working at any "average" tech company like Atlassian, or Dropbox, elite. Let me guess, you work at a company that's """elite"""?

Ah no. It's an article about a software engineer in a software company which they call elite. It's shared on a site with tech people and commented on by tech people. Elite has a meaning. It's not just a 'nice place to work'. If you aren't able or willing to articulate your rebuttal to my comment then you shouldn't have hit reply on the original comment and then proceed to dodge/re-frame the world so you can be right. > My original point still stands No, it really doesn't, at all. > Let me guess, you work at a company that's """elite"""? No. edit: also, could you please stop pulling made up stats out of your behind? " top 10% of companies in the Bay Area". "top 1% earner for your age bracket". percentages & stats are real things - not flippant things which have no meaning.
