It grinds my gears when people on a hacker forum lobby for hackers to make less.
When it’s people who are running a worldwide communications network on the cheap without getting hacked all the time? Absolute pros.
I don’t downvote, let alone flag, but I hate this comment.
- mlboss 3y agoThink from the perspective of the non profit. $19m/year is a lot of money to raise year after year from donations. What’s the game plan if the donations stops coming in ?

- conductr 3y agoWell I don’t get paid to hack, it’s a hobby and sometimes I’m and entrepreneur so I don’t have the same bias as thinking all devs should be making $500k+. I actually think of cost controls and how to build more with less, so kind of polar opposite motives. Cheap is also a relative concept. I have a guy on full time that I pay $1500 a month. It’s more than twice than he’s ever made in his life and he’s an excellent dev. If I needed to, I could find 50 more like him. Sure if I was FAANG scale trying to hire 30,000 of these people it might get tough. But, I could probably create an entire training program and just apprentice people for less than they paid new grads out of 2-4 schools they normally hire from.
