"Dogshit developers get paid 50k to start. Good ones are over 100k. You just have to have actual skills." Because how much someone makes determines if they're dogshit or not.

I think you have your cause and effect backwards. Being paid 50k doesn't make you a bad developer. But bad developers tend to get paid less. At least, one would hope...
I find this particularly tingling because Tucker himself is a perfect example of doing things. He gets a lot of flak from people calling him a poor writer and lambasting him for writing about some of the "finer" topics in life. Yet, he is a New York Times bestselling author, and his detractors are not.
Why should I spend time reading him if he doesn't put time into the quality of his writing?

Often, people confuse swirling ideas seeking form in their head for creativity.
I think the other situation is more common: smart people with swirling unique thoughts keep them hidden because they don't consider themselves creative.

I don't like X, therefore I won't consider X's arguments. That strategy seems like a great way to never learn anything except whatever confirms your own biases.
I didn't say he wasn't right about this. Just regret that I provided traffic to his site.

"In my free time I try to keep my house clean enough so that the kids don't manage to vibrationally attune it to the elemental plane of trash." "Oh, was that not what you wanted me to say?"
That isn't the same as "a person who doesn't do much of anything". I think it's more in the spirit of "what hobbies do you have" / "what kind of activities do you like".

Developer pay seems to be mostly based on "years worked", not on merit.

He's the worst kind of shitty writer. He's clearly intelligent. His writing is shit because he doesn't care. Why should I spend time reading him if he doesn't put time into the quality of his writing?
So you shouldn't spend time reading him, because you aren't his intended audience.

Have you tried having small kids and managing to get some free time for hobbies? It's more challenging than it seems, and usually takes 6-7 years to resolve itself.
