Did you even read the article, or just these comments? Who is "spinning pseudo-economic yarns about some specialized type of value he provided to society"? In the article, someone who worked at Google literally alongside "the Google Chef", Charlie Ayers, is testifying that Charlie Ayers in fact contributed as much to Google as many of the engineers that also got $20M, countering the widespread perception that Charlie Ayers got more than he deserved. Which may or may not be true, but your comment seems to be almost completely unrelated?
- benched 13y agoHacker News commenters spin pseudo-economic yarns like frogs say ribbit. If the really real reason why the chef made $20M is really because he contributed as much value as the engineers, and if that is not just a cheering sentiment, then we should be discussing why so many cooks are unfairly paid less than engineers. But that's not really what's going on here.
