This is why I say "rockstar" is a synonym for mug. Why won't they pay those 6 developer 10-50x more?

I've seen it many times. Young developers working their bottoms off, creating a product that makes millions only to earn average developer salary and then being laid off when company gets new investment round.

At the same time, through progressive taxation, taxman takes (depending on the country) majority of earnings, so you won't be able to amass capital to start your own business.

This is the way how the rich captured the means of production (developers) in wage slavery.

You won't make it, unless gatekeepers let you.

You will make it. Screw the gate keepers and build something for you and your own people. Sounds hard because it is, but that’s life, either way it’s challenging, so keep your head up and move forward.
