Most tech workers in the US aren't at Google or making Silicon Valley wages.
HN's description of what it's like to work in tech sounds likes a fantasy world to me.
Yes I make more than a European at $100k living in the US midwest... but I have to work hard every single day, in an open office, with my boss sitting in a desk right behind me. Most jobs are still a grind. This guy is probably a high-performer who wonders why everyone else is so incompetent because he doesn't try and still looks good. That's more winning the talent lottery than anything else.
