The post is full of gems, but this is probably the best part:
stable stable, which is consistently growing, consistently profitable, and paying employees $5k to $10k per day at current full comp market rates. These are largely flying under the news radar. These companies aren't Google or Apple, but rather some tractor company or heavy manufacturing company just churning out results for years without destabilizing the world. Stable stable companies do that thing where every quarter they "beat expectations" on their stock reports by a coincidental $0.01 just to prove they are always growing.
He seems to think that people working at manufacturing companies are making $10k per day.
BTW, this is what antirez wrote about the author 10 years ago:
He's looked at levels.fyi.
He even links to it from his resume.
His problem is that he thinks L10 is the benchmark to compare against, when the vast, vast majority of engineers (including many with decades of experience) would never make it to L10.
Wow, indeed, in his resume under "Waiting for AI Apocalypse / Available for Employment", he links to levels.fyi page for L10 Google Engineer ($3M total comp).
I deserve a $3M salary and if I don't get, it means the whole industry is fricked
If this guy has reasonable technical chops, he seems like someone who would be great to work with.
It's always, always good to have people in your group who are willing to call a steaming shitpile a steaming shitpile. It's also always good to have people in your group who can fairly rapidly turn a steaming shitpile into something that's fit for purpose and reasonably maintainable.
HNers are absolutely terrible at recognizing smart people. I think that's why they often heavily upmarsey beginner-level projects like "I made Redis in Python (meaning: I wrapped a dict with a simple API)" or "I made a desktop in HTML/JS"

This is the worst HN post I have seen, posted today.

It combines the r-sluration of not understanding the intricacies of problems with immigration, not understanding basic history, some commie bullshit, and not understanding why the US would never ever under any circumstances let up on a country that hosts Russian nuclear subs in 2024.

For a website sponsored by a venture capital fund, there are surprisingly many commies on HN. Whenever North Korea comes up, there are always people who unironically defend it.

No. My uncle, who at one point was chief of engineering for AI at a FANG company, once ranted about how we're "wealthy enough to make every human on earth live in comfort", but just don't have the political will and vision to achieve this utopia. He lives on the other side of the world, decided to visit on a whim, and flew business to come here the next day. Never spent a dime on charity, but he's probably going to buy his daughter a Tesla for her graduation.
