You wrote some code at night. It paid for toys, eating out, and trips. What value were you creating? Who the hell cares? The value was in the dinners and the tickets to fly across the ocean. You were creating value for yourself. Any time you are outearning the I-Bank folks, I say bravo. Let's see now. You wrote some code at night. It paid for toys, eating out, and trips.
