Thanks! There are ways to work on ideas without sacrificing one's own life. And this can involve working in a small group that people will call a startup. There is no reason to enter into abusive relationships or sacrifice being paid, IMO. I also think though some tech salaries are really high and an ok salary from a startup that keeps you alive + lets you work on your own product vs. being told what to do is really nice. I mean if more people did that we may even have less of an income disparity between tech and all other jobs in any given geographical region.
