As someone who has worked in sf tech for 5-6 years I feel like I’ve gotten to the point where I’ve become too critical of the industry to continue working in it.

Pointless article. What apps are they even talking about? The only thing I could remotely think of if they’re talking about buying guns online is some dark net market linked to from a TOR browser app.

Honestly if a kid can not only figure out how to get to a dark net market but set up a bitcoin wallet, convert fiat to bitcoin, use PGP to decrypt/encrypt messages, and figure out how to get things delivered without their parents knowing then are they really just kids?

I was under the impression that css grid had become the preferred way to layout pages now over flexbox?

The opportunity to earn that much is available.

When I went to college only a few years ago the best paying jobs in consulting and banking were largely gated by what school you went to. Now students from “non-prestigious” schools or no formal schooling at all have a good chance at earning that much.

It’s a well known median for technical roles at Bay Area tech companies

300k is median comp for Bay Area tech companies..

The majority of them? ICs in software skew young.

I would put DINKs in the same group, yes (double income no kids). Kids are a very big expense, even for high earners, and actually especially in pricey areas like Silicon Valley because housing near good schools commands an even higher premium than average for that area.

the median age of a FANG worker is under 30 and median total comp for a technical role in those companies is around $300k all in

If you make the median tech salary of $300k and live on a fraction of that it doesn’t take that long to save $1m...

Point is there’s no magic to becoming a millionaire if you have minimal expenses and single.

Anecdotally seems like impossible burger has been more commercially successful

Anyone else find the Patreon experience very slow and janky? The entire experience feels like a bootcamp final project and not a company with top engineering talent 5+ years in the making.

The fact there’s only 6k sales a year is pretty telling.
