  > What I have observed is that in Silicon Valley culture, when compensation becomes your defining identity, you can’t ever be satisfied with yourself if someone else with similar accomplishments makes more money than you. Sure, sometimes people lose the plot, what does it have to do with passion? > many of people actually like their jobs This is blatantly false. Many people have jobs that are occasionally interesting, I would accept this, but no one "likes" working. In what world is giving all your energy to corporate interests to enrich the top of the corporation something to like? > But a lot of developer jobs especially at big companies are fundamentally boring hence the unstoppable chase of higher TC and the desperate need for hobbies. Jesus christ, "the desperate need for hobbies", what is wrong with you? You pan people who don't like working, and criticize them for wanting to have hobbies instead of spending all their time doing activities that are only a value-add to their boss's boss? No wonder you are jealous of people who get paid well and have fun in their free time, you have the worst case of Capitalist Stockholm Syndrome I've ever seen
