I'M Not Gonna Lie, That Sounds Amazing.

So you're telling me the secret to financial freedom in tech is getting absolutely WRECKED by a Google commuter bus? Career progression: junior dev → senior dev → lawsuit millionaire → back to being a senior dev. The trajectory here is absolutely WILD – went from grinding leetcode to literally getting hit by the algorithm. And then casually taking a "promotion" that pays $146K after having $35 MILLION in the bank? That's not a promotion, that's a hobby with health insurance. The real power move is going back to work just to flex on everyone in standup meetings. "Yeah, I could retire but debugging production issues on a Tuesday really keeps me grounded, you know?"
