$100 * 40 hours * 52 weeks = $208,000 per year. You may want to take a step outside the HN "bubble of people bragging about their salaries" and realize that this is NOT a common salary level. Most people make less than half that unless they live in SV (and even then, many are making <200k a year...)
I'd make a guess that majority of HN readers are located in SV (or work for SV companies). So for people who read this it probably is a common salary level.
