Geez, I'm sorry dude, you are really clueless about 10x programming.

MapReduce was a revolutionary paper which allowed Google to scale using cheap hard-drives and compute instead of paying Oracle licenses. If you can't understand the impact of that paper during early days of Google to what it became, I'm flabbergasted by your L5 claim.

You are clearly a 1x, 9-5, LeetCode, TC chasing programmer and not Jeff.

I'll pay Jeff/Sanjay/Linus/Andy Rubin/Lewandosky 20x the salary I'd pay you. it's as simple as that

It's not particularly constructive to presume that someone who disagrees with you is "clueless". Just to reiterate, I think that it is absolutely true that some people have extremely high value in organizations. The obvious question is whether they have extremely high value above replacement. You've yet to present any so called "proof" of this.

Sure. I do, however fail to see how this relates to whatever broader point you are trying to make, which still eludes me.

At least two of these are untrue, but yes, I'm proud to maintain work-life balance? I guess you got me.

Ah, I'm being trolled.
