They could be from a country with a lost CoL so $28k is a huge deal, they could be living the life they want doing a job they love, etc... Just so happens some future tech is interesting enough that they wish they could afford that too. Not everyone is in tech for the FAANG bucks!

Although if GP wishes they could earn more I assume any account holder on HN is technical enough to find a remote job paying more than that if they wanted.

I'm in the US, where the CoL is pretty high, but I'm also very clumsy and really don't have any business being on the road, which is probably my #1 career weakness by far, entry level embedded systems is often very onsite heavy.
