Generally that high rent is an opportunity cost. Saving 3k/month by living in rural Wyoming instead of NYC when you’re in your 20s is not desirable unless you want to be a really sad person with no friends.
I’m still happy people are writing about these things and that’s making conversations happening. What he described could happen to anyone at any level.

In my personal opinion, using a git/hg like interface makes it lot easier to work on a complicated CL because you can maintain internal local branches and you can easily revert your incremental changes. That’s not at all possible in perforce. I just can’t see how git/hg interface can make anyone less productive.
I wasn’t doubting on existence of a research team like that. I was doubting on the research mentioned. You cannot just say people who use a particular tool (like git or git5) are less productive. That’s just absurd.
If you're supposed to be a professional software engineer and can't do fizzbuzz under pressure that's same as saying you're a professional soccer player but you can't tie your shoe under pressure. That bar is so low that it doesn't matter whether there was any pressure or not.

He actually didn't gross $92k. That's not only unrealized stock options, it also assumes he'd stay in Facebook for next 3 years. He actually grossed 1/4th of that, given he stays in Facebook till end of first year.
