Well, what are your values?

I can see where you are heading with this, and we probably do not agree, but I know you have spent more time thinking about this than I have so I will defer on core values. Still, it is an important topic that I should probably spend more time on. But I really don't see how in the modern USA (Where most of FB/HN is) you could make it through life without spending much of it making others more money than you are getting paid yourself. Further, I really don't see how getting paid 250k and producing a value higher than that is such a bad thing in practice. And, another important thing I think to add to the conversation is that it is rather difficult to ascertain what "value" an individual SWE has produced. There are also a non-zero ammount of SWE's that produce less value than they are paid for. Are they immoral for showing up to the job?
