You’re a line number even if you’re some leet coder. It’s a business, and it’s a strategy game of utilizing resources. You might have 400k TC but you’re not god you’re a resource.&lt;p&gt;If you think these things aren’t fair or suck, then you should try to move out of the leet coder path and get on the capital owner or business operator side.&lt;p&gt;Sorry but it’s kind of annoying to see people making 200k plus not get this.</text></comment>
