I think what this comment hints at is the tight coupling of money and working in tech. I think for most of us it all started as fun and curiosity. We were gravitated to computers not because of money, but because of passion. Then suddenly we realized there is immense amount of money to be made with our skills. Naturally we started benefiting from that by getting a job in tech. Then we became addicted to the money and since now we didn't learn any other skill than programming we didn't have a choice but to continue working in tech. What was once a passion now turned into shackles that we can't wait to get rid of. It's sad, ironic and extremely frustrating.
