The majority of tech workers are not making $400k/year.

For sure. GP made a claim about the highest-paid tech workers, and I responded to that claim.

I meant to imply a range that peaks at the highest. Maybe that construction isn't as common and implicit as I thought.

Yeah I figured you didn't mean the actual highest paid individual, and from past HN discussions I've seen that there are some folks making over $500k/yr at FAANG. I picked $400k because it's not uncommon for that to be the total comp for mid-career FAANG tech worker. But I could be wrong — I'm a bootstrapped founder who used to be a Silicon Valley lawyer, so my information comes from friends or HN discussions.
