This comment perfectly underscores what's wrong with a certain section of the startup community. It underlines the complete and utter lack of respect towards developers as human beings. People like axiom and the Jason Calacanises of the world have created a toxic environment where employees are being totally dehumanized and treated as resource which must be exploited to their fullest extent rather treated as fellow human. And developers are mocked and called "entitled" for having perfectly reasonable demands as pointed out in this article. 90k was an example of a salary, if you have limited resources sure something like 50-60k a year with no overtime is a reasonable, but then as an employer don't demand or expect they work 60(or even more!) hrs a week for a meagre 40-50k.
