I do the same thing out here on the west coast if I'm at a bar or whatever. But I think the hatred would be less if the average person actually felt like we were providing value proportional to our salaries, not just having salaries proportional to our intelligence. They also do not accurately understand the cost of keeping things running, which is a problem not isolated to tech. EDIT: wow I'm a special kind of dyslexic tonight. Got east and west mixed up. I live in Boston roflmao. I was picturing you living in northern cali or something >.<
