I feel like you are deliberately or inadvertently missing the point. Its simple, The claim was that working for some of the biggest companies in the world that employ hundreds of thousands of people is wrong and called all of them a sellout and I disagree. Feel free to disagree with me, and don't worry I wont judge you for it.

We as a society have defined a legal framework and within the confines of it we are free to live as we please. Working for big tech is legal but choosing not to is one's choice. Judging others for not making the same choice as you is what I was talking about.

Your example of "my moral code leads me to discredit the idea that anyone can have a private property right to unused shelter" is not a moral code, its trespassing and illegal. However, you could always do as you please with your own property and personally, I won't judge you and imply that I am better than you for disagreeing with me.

> It confounds me how anyone would want to work there. The money must be really good.

Why does HN always do this, comment up from their moral high horse? Someone works in big tech then they must be a sell out doing it for the money. Also, if big tech is off limits then by that logic I assume so are big banks, big pharma, big oil etc etc. Almost feels like only start ups qualify as employment opportunities then perhaps, but even they most likely are using frameworks/tech by big tech (is that ok or is that selling out too). Where does one work then? Is it that hard to fathom that people have different moral codes and care about different stuff. Such comments almost feel like sour-grapes.
