I mean yeah. It might be me experience but even in hip tech, it's the founders and the outward facing teams that get all of the fun.

For us developers, it's always the boring stuff, unless you're part of a magical team which I've not had the honor to join so far.

Well, while the article is generalizing the issue a bit,I have to agree. I've been the passionate worker and all I got was a small paycheck, 28 kilograms of extra weight, and the worst two years of my life.

Provided that I was fresh out of college back then, it took me a more than a year to realize that I was being exploited. Now I'm not a passionate worker but I'm not lazy as well. I show up, do the best I can do, and when my shift is over I'm out.

I make almost 6 times what I made 3 years ago, my new employer is extremely content with me and I have all the time energy to do what I'm really passionate about.
