I always watch these kinds of discussions on HN with interest, because depending on what is being discussed, one of two viewpoints dominates:
* If we are discussing salaries, of course people deserve compensation, and good work is worth a good salary.
* If we are discussing software cost, HOW DARE THE DEVELOPER ask for subscription pricing, and everything should really be a $5 one-time purchase.
BTW, a very good point in the thread above is that the company is spending VC money.
