The real question I think is what are the preconditions to &quot;get rich in tech&quot; and how do you get to those preconditions?<p>Assuming you&#x27;re not in a position to get the typical pedigree associated with the preconditions, e.g. Stanford&#x2F;MIT&#x2F; C.S, how does a &quot;typical&quot; engineer become amazing. I would love a comprehensive guide on how to do this.<p>Being great at your job is one thing, meeting the preconditions associated with getting rich in tech, is another.
