tldr: I make more money than you so your points don't matter What's really embarrassing is the same few Automattic employees arguing for Matt online.

Just my experience. I reckon a lot of recent events like buying oil from Russia has sadly justified it for a lot of people.

It's weird how racism against Indians online is so normalised. I see the same on reddit too.

Also Matt, care to address this: https://medium.com/@kelliepeterson/nice-guy-matt-mullenweg-c... I'm speechless.

Are you your own lawyer Matt? :p

Who pay's for this legally? Automattic or Matt personally?

Yes courts make decisions based off hypothetical human behaviour and not documented evidence.

The cult of Elon is a large reason for Tesla's ridiculous valuation so it makes sense to give him credit. I just find it hilarious that Tesla's total profit over all these years is still lower than this pay package.

Wasn't the argument that a lot of internal folks didn't think the targets were absurd? That's what I read in the court document.

I don't think Facebook is the best example given the sheer number of loading skeletons I see on their page.

This looks so cool! And I love the feel of basic server rendered pages!

A third world with a reliable govt doesn't need it. You need trustless currencies only when the centralised alternatives are actually untrustworthy.

Aren't most early employees also working very long hours for 1/4th the pay and maybe 1% equity? A lot of them also have kids and debt. The life of a "founder" is not really that different from how most people in the worl

Honestly I'm just tired of churn in the React world. React router is now on what v7? Please I just want something stable where the api doesn't break every 2 years.

My Dad actually had the same problem when he retired. Took him a few years to get out of it and find other things to do. It's weird because he was always stressed out when working. But the lack of stress made him believe he was worthl

I do find some joy building hard stuff. But if I didn't need the money I really wouldn't work. When I fancy hard work I'll just contribute to OSS.

It's really hard to maintain this mindset. I remember getting a health scare and everything related to work just seemed so insignificant. After a few days of receiving the good news regarding my health I was once again mentally wrestli

I get what you are trying to say. I'm one of those people who makes that kind of money in a cheap country. I'm just saying its fair from a value delivered perspective. Paying you less doesn't mean the company donates the mone

I agree. It's just supply and demand. I just disagree with people saying salaries are somehow pegged to living standards. No it isn't. Companies don't care about your living standards. They pay what the market commands thats

Why does it matter? Salaries should depend on the value you deliver. I don't think companies limit their profits depending on the location. Apple devices are often more expensive outside the US.

Great advice provided all jobs and fields pay the same. They do not.

Crypto is mostly useful in the absence of good financial infrastructure in your country. Otherwise the risk premium makes no sense.

The US should absolutely make it easier for brilliant people to immigrate. A very high bar for immigration + a simpler process for such people is a net benefit. The current H1B process is broken and exploited. Some Indian kid graduating fro

That's because Switzerland needs 10 years in the country for citizenship. Spain too. Switzerland also has a lot of extra steps in their citizenship process. It is vastly easier and simpler in say the Netherlands.

US immigration is an absolute nightmare especially for Indians. In Europe its simple. Job offer above minimum salary? Apply and get a blue card yourself. Has been in the country for over 5 years and speak the language? You get citizenship.

So the point is how long you have your editor open? I can easily notice if someone is not working because their commits would reflect that. Not complicated.

Flexport bought Shopify Logistics from Shopify barely a year ago. And now they raised money from Shopify. Their ownership in Flexport should be pretty significant now.
