because vc money drives the overinflation of software salaries at the top + doesn't really go towards any kind of public or civic good. also an approximation for engineers who work at "tech companies" vs. engineers who just work at "companies"
which is a differentiation in compensation and also currently skill/education that i think should lessen a lot in the next decade or so as more people learn to code but in the short term it's vc funded engineers that tend to have the needed expertise
