There was recently some attention about an Airbnb engineer in NYC that whipped together a covid vaccine reservation utility site in a day or two that put the official NY government site to shame.
In the NY Times article about it, some of the reader comments was "NYC should hire this guy!" or "He should come work for the city!".
To which people more familiar with SWEs replied "that will never happen, he probably makes several times what a government (or gov contracted) SWE makes, and that's why he can do this while the government team cannot."
