No. That is pretty typical HN bias. I’ve too never worked anywhere VC-funded. Any increase in remuneration I’ve received as a result of a tech bubble at the very least has to be weighed up against the indirect downsides. The dominant technologies of the last 10+ years have been influenced by a) nothing needing to be built to last, and b) lots of companies having insanely high head counts resulting in over-engineered solutions. Both of these things have made my job leas enjoyable and I’d at the very least consider taking a pay cut to be in a world where things went differently. I can think of plenty of other downsides.
