My personal opinion from reading lots of comments: A lot of the people here make it seem like they are the type of engineers who make $300k-$3m/yr total comp with stocks and probably don't have to worry about money a lot. They are either super high level engineers, managers, founders who have done well. They probably "fire and forget" into some boring index funds and call it a day. I don't think the "wise" hacker is really attracted to known risk/gambling. A lot of hackers just want to ticker and probably get turned off talking about money. It's probably frowned upon, as if you brought it at a dinner table basically?
