I'm not blaming you or any tech workers. In fact, I encourage it - if VCs are willing to give you more money, then of course you should take it. And ask for more.
I'm just saying that the real reason for the chronic underprofitability of startups that emerged in the last decade is high employee costs. The people in charge will have to rationalize that sooner or later.
As an employee, of course you're not responsible; the decision makers - suits and VCs - are. You should obviously make the most of these good times.

Stuff like golden handcuffs and excess capital sloshing around are one thing, but even with a fix for that (a recession) I’m not sure it really addresses the demand at the root of all of this. I suspect we agree on much of the rest. I suppose my initial reaction was due in part to how you framed it, so sorry about that.
