How to Escape the Modern Rat Race

Maybe I'm missing something, but I don't think there is anything at all about developers which would set them apart from the hoi polloi. The vast majority of developers do not live in a merit based society. They are just as much subject to the requirements of appearing strong as anyone else. They have to pitch to win, just like anyone else.

Maybe their arrogance and inflated self-importance. But, then again, the hoi polloi are like that too.

I really thought the belief in tech company meritocracy died more than ten years ago.
