I mean, we could argue on whether his work is worth tens of times that of an average person, but I mean, there's people who make more and whose work is actually detrimental to society, so he's all right by me.

    Actually, I want to go even further and say that I think his work actually is worth quite a bit. Not that he is worth that much, or others aren't (again, I don't know him), but he has given millions of people hours upon hours of enjoyment, and that's nothing to shake a stick at.

    And what he's doing with it is also important. I haven't heard of him dumping millions into Trump's campaign or the Proud Boys or whatever.

    And honestly, even if he did, my real respect is for the work that he did and the business model he used, not for him as a person. I don't know him at all. I don't even know his real name. I just meant that this way of doing software professionally should be more common.
