When did I say I don't think comp is important?
- nlitened 8mo agoSir, your top three comments in the comment section are about how not important the compensation package is for you
- brendangregg 8mo agoNo, that's not what they say.
- deely3 8mo agoBut they really are?

- yosefk 8mo agoThank you very much for your work. I think people envious of someone's compensation don't deserve a response
- wakkawukka 8mo agoThermodynamics though. Reducing runtime energy use over years won't really make up for the resource use that goes into building the data center. It's just moved around, similar to how Elon moves around money as needed to bolster the financials of a particular project. Like with the airline industry it's not just the smog they blow on our food. Drink carts, seat belts, barf bags all have a resource intensive energy and materials pipeline. Every server screw and power cable adds up.
- mettamage 8mo agoFrom my reading of what you said, you think comp is important and so are other things. You outlined those a bit too, but I already forgot them. Quite frankly, I think some people here are too quickly spooked and think what you say is sus. I simply see that as a sign that they aren't fully having a good faith discussion. Or they simply read things way differently than I do. I'm simply writing this because I think there are enough people that have a similar reading to what you wrote. They simply don't mention it as people who feel "outraged" (a bit too dramatic of a term but English is my 2nd language). "Outraged" people seem simply more vocal to me. For clarity: I feel neutral about this whole thing. I do appreciate the work you've done in the past.
