He asked why is there such a big apparent difference between similar roles in different places, which is a perfectly legitimate thing to ask and could have done without the holier than thou spiel.
What does that make the LP's, and VC's, and angels, and accelerators, who do no work, and sit on their yachts whining how much money that the workers who do all the work are making?
I do all the work and I create all the wealth. If I am being paid $80k, then on average I am creating $100k, or $120k etc. for the company. It's a joke that the parasites who live on my sweat, and their toadies like yourself would use the word entitled. Yes, I am entitled to the wealth I create, in fact I am entitled to more than that.
If the wealth I create does not go to me who worked to create it, who is it going to? To the lazy heir LP. You advocate more going to these parasites which just reflects how you think - like a parasite.
Well, if the idea that people who work and create wealth should keep the wealth they create is a "communist" idea, then so be it.
you have a moral duty to quit your job and code a site you own 100% of, using your laptop which is the means of production. how can you support the unjust social structure you're a part of today? The people working in your office as support staff are letting you generate value neither you nor they keep.
You have a moral duty to resign today and code a site on your own laptop, from home, owning and keeping 100% of the wealth/value.
or to update your philosophy to be practical, sane, and not hypocritical. either way you cannot continue as you have written. it is unjust.

In case it isn't obvious I say this tongue-in-cheek, and expect you to update your philosophy and not your work conditions.
but the choice is yours. Today, you are the factory owner. Go home and turn it on. or stop complaining. here HN literally supports both options.
It requires great skill to build a company or be the part of first 10 employees. You cant just pick up a person on the street who knows how to type and expect them to build a Google. And as far as the India/China situation is concerned, you get to brag only because of the currency conversion rates. Lookup the number of Indian and Chineese employees in top US copmanies and startups and also do some research about the startups in these countries, if you know how to type into a search engine.
