Maybe everyone engaged in this perverse machine is to blame? I mean not the individuals. We all have to eat. But the category as a whole.

Maybe if we would just avoid this SV hellish circle and find places or modes of work that are in direct opposition to that, we can at least reclaim our sanity back.

I assume people accept these shitty conditions because this is where the money is at? So maybe we won't get rich avoiding these working environments, but live comfortable enough? We might even have enough energy and time to devote to side projects, our community and such.

Maybe the obscenely fat paycheck isn't the only way to go.
