Calm down, the friend there didn't say that there is no exploitation nor did he make any absurd point. Exploitation certainly exists in large corporations, but that doesn't mean overtime is exploitative, you're just looking at things from the employee's side when the dance is two-way, the programmer is not obligated to work at that company if he doesn't want to. in no way do overtime, and that is specifically why it is not exploitation, or at least, it is not unwarranted or negative exploitation per se. Things would be different if we were talking about people like Beezos for example, they are cases and cases that need to be analyzed. It also doesn't mean he thinks these extra hours are cool or that he's not being "empathetic to other devs", just that he's considering all facets of this issue.
