Special? No.

I am a commodity dev. I don't view myself as particular special. However, a starving man is more motivated to get food than one who has food, so I sell my commodity accordingly. That requires switching jobs regularly.

Yes, I am greedy. I switched over the money. So did my boss. So did his boss.

Society just doesn't let me say that publicly with my name attached.

I am not special. I am just a salesman of code making labour who wants to earn market rate.
