I feel lucky and privileged to be in that position. I get to do what I love and get paid very generously.

If it wasn’t for “those people” or for tech being so lucrative to attract them, I would probably still do the same but struggle to make ends meet.

So I’m very grateful that tech is what it is today.

People are lucky when there's some intersection between what they like doing, what they're good at, and what pays reasonably well.

as a gamedev, I just get the worst of both worlds. no job security and below average pay. I can't relate. "Passion" hasn't saved me from layoffs.
