How much do we need to pay this guy to quit software and just make jokes?

This guy is an icon.

i feel like their humor would drop if they lost touch with their real jobs. but also they prob need to do a lot of work to reassure their coworkers that specific parodies of them are off limits or something
Not sure he's actually /in/ software, but you can still pay them here: https://www.patreon.com/KRAZAM
Not sure if he still is, but definitely was. Many of his videos are filmed in the Amazon NYC office.
He left Amazon a few months ago to do a job where he could spend more time focusing on Krazam! Check out the Patreon! They are both getting super serious and are hopefully going to put out more great content soon!

I'm surprised he got the go-ahead from Amazon to film there
Haha. You're also looking to make the leap from engineering to comedy?
You made me laugh. I think I love you.
It's actually two guys as far as I can tell, but yes, they are definitely awesome.
Yeah, from their Patreon "We’re Ben and Shiva, two friends/mid-level software engineers who have been making dumb stuff together for over a decade."
I saw he was doing a standup set in New York and I was very tempted to undertake the trip to see it.
saw it. lets just say they have a lot of fans but they're better youtubers than live comedians (for now)
IMO it was super good for a first shot! They way over did the software that they used to present the show, but I was super impressed with the polish! I have a feeling they will grow to be much better after some practice!
I don't know how much good content they can sustain full time, but 25 videos in 7 years is not enough.
