So she wants people to work less and get paid more? To work on stupid things, that aren't critical? And someone is willing to pay a lot of money for you to do that?

Also, her idea that getting paid well means nothing because there are people who make more money left me scratching my head.

No, I think she is saying that if 20% of the software we develop is important lets stop working on the 80% that isn't and instead work 1 day per week on the important stuff and get paid the same amount. In theory this makes sense, but I think it is a massive oversimplification.

I think her point was that working (especially long hours) has costs: childcare, restaurant food if you're limited on time to cook, transportation costs, work-appropriate clothing, etc. So while you're being paid "well", you may ultimately be better off working less and being paid less.
