This has got to be one of the most ridiculous, out of touch things I have ever read on HN.

You can't on one hand go on about market forces etc etc and say that because Netflix's RPE is high its employees should be paid for. RPE has absolutely no bearing on the value individual employees bring to Netflix.

I have no doubt that there are developers at Netflix making $400k+. To imply that it's not a jaw droppingly large amount of money for a software developer to make is borderline insanity.
