Is any developer both happy with their salary and also developing something not resent-worthy?

Are even 1% of those actually happy with their salary? I doubt it.

I think developers for Valve specifically have very high salaries and an incredible amount of autonomy to determine their own projects. A lot of Valve devs get paid a lot of money to contribute to upstream open source projects like Linux and Proton so games can run better on Linux; that sounds like a very specific example that fits this.
