&gt; You&#x27;re either the job creator or the job filler.<p>That&#x27;s a very simplistic view.  Doing the work and making the stuff also create jobs.  How many <i>right here</i> have jobs because developers - not execs, not investors - created the technology we use?  Yes, even at Yahoo.  Like Hadoop.  The idea that the people who contribute money create jobs and the people who contribute labor (in our case via code) don&#x27;t is utterly, obviously, dangerously wrong.  It&#x27;s self-serving claptrap from those who have no ability to participate in acts of creation instead of arbitrage.  No <i>hacker</i> for which this site is named should accept it.
