I guess you can start by living in one of a three-bed apt. in Sunnyvale!

I am hoping that this gets enough attention to shame them into better protecting their users. They have gone through millions and millions of dollars and have not taken the most basic steps towards protecting the people who trust them. Can we show Stitcher this is not OK?

Not sure if this is a popular sentiment, but the Bay Area is expensive. I would probably move to a cheaper area for a while if I wanted to work on cool stuff on my own for a while without taking a nice salary.

You're definitely not crazy. I am not as far into my own career as you, but I would even say that it seems the crazy thing to do, in your position, is to do nothing. You want more from life? Get it! You will be able to find a job later, guaranteed, especially if you kept hacking after leaving your big-co job! (Do re-adjust expectations, though. A start-up will not pay you nearly as much as your last job did, although you should get stock. You know all this, but it will still be a big change.)
