He absolutely deserves it. And hopefully paid well.

What do you believe is a fair salary for him?

I think it’s a perfect question in the spirit of Hacker News.

Edit to add: it’s also a perfect demonstration of the limits of a forum moderated by someone beholden to venture capitalists ;)

I think this question was nosy and rude. It's perfectly fine to discuss anonymized salaries, or aggregate salaries stats, or volunteer your own (after all, where else can we discuss that?), but why would you want to pry into a specific person's life, especially since he's basically doing public service for all of us here?

A question like that about fair salary is about the job, not the person.

The job is singular and not anonymous, general, or abstract.

The question was about the person.
