    Wikipedia told me 1 million people buy the NYT on Sunday and 10% of the US workforce (160 m) earn over 100k so it seems it is perfectly possible for all NYT readers to earn over 100k. Unless I'm missing something.

    I'll be honest and say that I care most about the product and a by-product is my code is pretty sloppy. We're a mall company and at this stage, it's worth taking on tech debt to hit certain deadlines/ meet certain demands.

I think I'll always care about the product/ overall business more than the nuts and bolts but I'm hoping that in future roles the best thing or the product will be to invest in performance, robustness, user experience and maintenance
