This is just anti-work sentiment, nothing more.

I just wonder how history would be if in the 90s the Microsoft suits tried to get a cut of everything running on Windows.
"Oh you used Windows and Internet Explorer to buy AutoCAD?"
Microsoft did not control the entire ecosystem. They would have locked the entire ecosystem down in a heartbeat if they had full control over hardware and software. You can look at Xbox as an example, they do exactly that.

So my experience was the opposite. I came in expecting this great "chemical change" where suddenly the world revolved around my kids and their future.
Well the latter part is true: my world now revolves around them and their futures. But chemical change? No. It's just the responsibility I have now. There's never a break. It's all-encompassing. I mean, it's survivable, I can deal with it, and I do the best I can, but, while it's certainly not PC to say, I regret it. I thought it would be great, and it's not.
What would I be doing so much better with my time had I not had kids? I don't know. Probably nothing. But it doesn't change the fact. I was happier before.
This article made me angry. That's great that Paul has such a wonderful experience. I'm happy for him. But don't act like you can speak for everyone.
I know many parents and there is a giant unspoken difference between the ones that truly love it, and the ones that are just hanging on and trying to survive. Thanks for being honest, it is way more refreshing to hear than anything paul had to say.

How do you make 500K at Amazon, is that 200K base, 50K bonus and 250K in stock ?
Likely he was just receiving X years of stock grants every year, which at some point start overlapping + stock market gains = 500k a year.
