Nothing I do in this world is life or death. Hell, my customers neither, mostly they sell or support advertising in one fashion or another.

Some founder I work for might make billions on products people don’t need, why shouldn’t I make $50k off of him? Isn’t that how capitism works?

I think so. If someone sees enough value in what you provide to be willing to pay you, you shouldn't feel bad about it. It's not like you're pushing them to adopt k8s. They already did that.

It's like someone bought a Mercedes. Nobody needs a Mercedes, they could drive a Toyota. But now they need an oil change, and that's what you do, and they'll pay you for it.
