Okay, I didn't make my point very well.

To put it another way, it's amusing that the software engineers make a big deal out of free food and drinks, when the people "above" them are getting massive pay checks from the software engineer's work.

It's no wonder we're getting another tech bubble when software engineers will sell themselves out for $5 worth of snacks.

I'll quite happily take the snacks if it means I can code in peace all day and not have to worry about finding funding, talking to investors, keeping the company running, etc. They're the ones with money on the line too, they probably deserve the "massive checks".

Well, that's how people work. It's the job of management to understand how people work.
