    If you want to make an argument about inequality, make that one. It would be more effective than going around trying to convince software engineers they are chumps for working hard.

      My entire argument is don't work for free. Your experience (if equity was involved, also a lot of luck) does not represent reality for the vast majority of devs who work lots of overtime and are never compensated for it... Some voluntarily, like yourself, and others who now have to row to the unnecessary pace they set.

  I’m sorry, I meant no disrespect. If I made you feel patronized it must be because of my bad writing skills. All I wanted was for you—and workers like you—to realize that your work is worth more then to give it away for free to your bosses. I don’t do this out of the goodness of my heart, but for our solidarity as a fellow worker. You see the more workers that do work for free the less value all our work is. And hundreds of years of labor struggle will all be for nought.
