Workers aren't entitled to profit off other's risks indefinitely.

I see the hacker mindset has become a 'pro-profit' enterprise!

Perhaps consider a worldview where the many talented people who actually write the code can be properly compensated for the fruits of their labor, rather than someone far-removed from the process simply holding a paper that says they own the deed to the company.

Among the riskiest economic decisions you can make is to hire a software developer. A bunch of things have to line up just right to even break even on a developer's output.
Fortunately owners will forever remain entitled to the profits of others' work.
But managers are?
