True. The issue then becomes: what could they be doing for society? This takes more ingenuity and leadership.

Yeah...then again a lot of brilliant software engineers get to a point in their career where they realize how hard they've been working. Then they start to focus on other parts of their life with ample time and money they never had before. It's not a terrible thing by any means.

Some people willfully choose to turn their focus towards their personal lives, raising their kids, etc while still being paid a lot of money in a cushy job where they are respected.

Noam Chomsky visited Google and basically asked this question.
