> The difference isn't that the average techie doesn't dream of making a billion by any means necessary

I hope that's not true. If it is, we live in a bleak world indeed.

I can confidently say I've never once dreamed of having billions. I've never wanted billions. Not even in a fanciful manner. What would I do with that money? Buy mansions and megayachts? That's loser stuff

Most of what I want out of life cannot be bought. The pieces that come with a price tag, like a comfortable home, do not require billions

I think only sociopaths want billions because they don't understand spending your life seeking things that actually matter, like family and human connection
