Naturally, the responses I got to this were (in exonentially. decreasing order of frequency): 1. That's BS. No one makes that much {outside SF|writing code|at all} 2. Duh. Everyone already knows this, why write it up? 3. I agree. Glad word is getting out 4. This changed my life

For related reasons I'm very, very glad I put my salary negotiation post to (virtual) paper; it might be most impactful thing I did in my career.

This is pretty much the *only* blog post that swayed me towards big companies. May not be the deciding factor for me, but very informative and helpful. Kudos to you.

This is like the old municipal bonds v. stocks question. How do you like your investment income? Slow and steady or in risky bunches (or none at all)? I know at least one bond investor who can show that he was better off doing the slow and steady... (without risk)

Ive seen the "tiny cog in a huge machine" argument come up recently. It's so myopic. I wonder if he thinks a lonely virtuoso invented the SDN layer that makes AWS VPCs work. Or the tech that turns MySQL or Postgres into RDS. Or GCE. Has any tech today come from a lone engineer?
