Not that you’re using it this way, but I find it incredibly disheartening that the HN crowd almost uses “idealist” like a pejorative. It was pretty rampant during the openAI stuff, where the majority opinion seemed to be bemoaning the “idealists won.” You can stick to your ideals while still making money. You can even make really good money without selling your soul. You just cant make “all the money” without being evil.
