Yeah. This is a tough one. Its a really bad bill that happens to also be the best thing that could happen in the economic life of most any programmer.

This is going to make a lot of people's lives a lot worse and I'm against it even though it's an absurd windfall for me and people like me.

Yeah. Not gonna lie it's a bit obscene watching people in this thread revelling that their absurdly highly paid jobs will become even more highly paid, given what's at stake.

Not sure if this is an absurd windfall... It aligns software developers with the guild professionals, like dentists and lawyers, who had an economically equivalent benefit via S corp distributions. Except to get this one, you have to pay a royalty to someone to write your technical narrative.
