Why should I or anyone else think I'm better than the guy who empties the trash? A lot of what I do is the technical equivalent of janitorial work. I get paid more than physical-world trash guys, but that's just because fewer people can do what I do. It's not because I'm a better person. I'm probably not.

I'm fully aware that I'm working to make Ben (and his investors) rich, I went to business school so I know how these things work. I'm a consenting adult. I get paid for doing work that I enjoy and hanging out with people whom I like. I'm totally OK with this arrangement.

When I tell people where I work, I get two distinct reactions. "I can has what?" or "OMG! That's so cool! What do you do there!" I think that what we're doing is interesting from both a business and a technical standpoint and I thought I would offer to share with the HN audience.

LOL, don't ask me, you're the one who were complaining about not being recognized by the NY Times for your achievements.
