Many would read "I should be worth more than..." as "I should have more money than...", but that's exactly what the parent comment is railing against. In the corporate world, and especially in the startup space, money is often the metric that defines worth. In the parent comment's world, I imagine they would rather that not be the case, and by <some other metric> they would be worth more than these startups/"money is god programmers" that are "only" worth money.
It could've been put a bit more nicely by not implying the reader is a 'money is god programmer,' but otherwise it's a valid opinion, I think.
The irony I understood from the comment is that the metric the commenter suggests should be considered more strongly is how one treats others, and they do so in the same breath as talking down on some group of people, which would probably take a few points off of their value as measured by that metric. The irony, in my mind, does not hinge on whether or not they'd be more valuable than the subjects of their missive but rather on the fact that their actions conflict with their value system.
I think it's telling that you frame your most impactful work in the context of how much better you are than other people, and how the world owes you something other people have because it's an unjust place, and the mindset probably does more harm to you than you'd realize. If you want to help people, do that, focus on that.
