Software isn’t going to improve until we, the people who care about it, stop taking large salaries for a little while.
I like my big salary. It pays my rent. It means my family and I can eat, travel, and be extremely comfortable.
But I’m never going to create something fundamentally groundbreaking if I keep taking it.
Silicon Valley doesn’t make groundbreaking things any more.
