Father of 4 here.
As an employee, I struggled to make ends meet for years.
I quit my job in 2014, and started my own company.
Since then, I’ve consistently made more money as a founder than an employee.
A big part of my entrepreneurial motivation *is* money.https://twitter.com/apompliano/status/1401544790869786628 …

Also, yes: lol, what does “best founders” even mean?

I know a bunch of incredible entrepreneurs whose original motivation was to “pay for diapers, day care, healthcare” for their kids. In my books, that makes them “the best founders.”

If tech bro founders are really “not doing it for the money” how come none of them want to pay more taxes?Pokaż ten wątek -

People say this about any career. I hear it a lot in tech: “The best programmers don’t do it for the money.” Programmers are in high demand, & there are many more jobs than skilled people to fill them. Many are finding that it’s a great way to build a better life for themselves.

I consider myself a good programmer, and I love what I do. If I didn’t require money, it’s true that I would still code, because it’s a thing I enjoy as a hobby. But I do require money, so make no mistake, I do it for the money, and I don’t code on employer things for my hobby.
