Wait, the (linkedin) post isn't sarcastic? I heard Jeff Jaques (QC) mocking the idea on twitter earlier[1], and thought he was joining in a wider joke.

It is only sarcasm if half the people that reads it will wonder if it is serious. otherwise it is just slapstick humor.

Also, while this is sarcasm in the tech industry, this is the life blood of non-profits.

Sufficiently convincing parody, the internet, etc..

The salary you'd consider for a for-profit and for a mission you believed in are two different domains, though. (I speak, from the heart, as one who finds the idea of believing in money incomprehensible - I am aware that not everyone's brain has the same bug/feature.)
