The most important line of the article. If you're not on the conference calls and meetings that involve money, you're a sucker. They are hiding things from you.
Work a 9-5 and "learn" on your own time - or better yet, learn as part of the job where you're paid what you're actually worth. Many developers need to learn how to grow a spine and not work to make other (startup) people rich.
Likewise, if you work a 9-5 and don't have time to "learn", you're a sucker. What the HELL (!!!) are you doing working your ass off for a megacorp? This is something of a false dichotomy.

The article's point is that if you want to make enough money to retire, you're not going to do that with << 1% equity vesting over four years. That does not mean you're a "sucker"; you just need to be taking a job like that for the right reasons. > learn as part of the job where you're paid what you're actually worth For many of the jobs in question, we're talking about significantly more than $100,000 annual salary, plus stock options and benefits. For most people, that's not exactly being screwed.
