Possibly even a Tau joke
Installing by piping from curl is pretty common and not a red flag in and of itself. Even Rust is installed this way. If you don’t trust the URL, you also shouldn’t trust any binary installers downloaded from that website.
If you take out the employer-side taxes and cost of benefits, maybe. A fair number of their employees must be software engineers, and that much compensation isn’t unreasonable for expert software engineers.
So this effectively changes nothing.
