People that think like that are setting themselves up to be a lifelong loser.

Paying an EA is no different than paying McDonald’s to cook for you. Outsourcing things you can afford to is how we have a productive society.

If someone can make $800k a year pouring their life into their job and delivering tons of value for customers, that’s great. They should do that even if they spend $100k on an EA.

I’d take 50 highly productive people over 50 clock punchers any day. Demonizing them is just tall poppy syndrome.
