The only way that statement is true is if you believe the entire success of the tech industry is the code.

Nothing else.

Not the other parts of a functioning business - marketing, client relations, public relation, finance, business strategy, etc.

That’s a pretty absurd assumption.

And think of it this way. Google revenue is $1.5M per employee. Profit is 24%.

That’s $360k of profit per employee (yeah I know costs include employee wages, but bear with me).

Seems like ultra-elite-10x coders who make $400k+ are skimming a pretty respectable chunk of the returns, no?
