      There’s just so many other options for making (plenty of) money, that doesn’t involve actively participating in making the world worse.

        Like working on open source projects?

        In light of recent mass layoffs I’d be quite interested what options of making (plenty of) money you think exist for developers that don’t actively make the world worse.

        They pay like $700k/year. At that rate I could probably retire in 5-10 years and spend the rest of my life working on open source projects that actually improve the world full time!

        Ended up declining the interview, but I considered it very seriously. So I can understand why other people might accept.

          Exactly. Helping organise a genocide in Myanmar, sure, that’s bad, but on the other hand, money!
