> Why would someone pay you “to chill”?

Since you asked,

there’s a series of scenes in Silicon Valley where people are hired and just put on ice just to keep them from advancing competition.

This reflects reality.

Not post 2022 if you haven’t checked.

And even then, those companies weren’t looking to hire up all of the random enterprise CRUD full stack developers.

I put myself in that category. If you take away my AWS account, I’m just a senior enterprise Dev who knows how to talk to people.
