Salaries on HN are the new penis sizes on Reddit.

Everyone is 15+ inches and making six figures minimum and if you're not, you're pathetic and are getting taken advantage of.

Well, if you live in SFBA the interns are making six figures (equivalent per hour). Everyone's still living in a studio apartment though.

Six figures, 10+ hours a day (including all meals at the FAANGPlex) but having to live in bunk beds if they want a rent under 4 digits.

Not a very healthy situation, even now with everybody WFH

Nobody is forcing you to eat at work, nor should you be working 10+ hours a day if you don't want to (it's an easy way to get overtime, though).

I know Apple pays for intern housing; I would think that most of the other large companies would too?

Well, if you subscribe to the idea that at least some of those jobs could be done remotely then it would not be that far from the truth.
