In case you didn't know, "More than 8% of American adults are millionaires": https://www.cnbc.com/2021/02/09/more-than-8-percent-of-ameri...

On top of that, the percentage of millionaires on HN is probably closer to 80% than 8% so that hackneyed slogan has little resonance with this audience. Then add in that many, many developers get a massive chunk of their compensation in stock or options, which literally aligns their interests with the owners of the company because they _are_ part-owners of the company, and that slogan is DOA.
