Lack of respect. In the UK software developers are just considered "techies", nerdy and replaceable for a dime a dozen. Anyone with serious skills and ambition goes into banking, finanance or maybe a founder.
Software developers in sf/sv are considered highly talented respectable people which companies will fight over.
- mabbo 11y agoI'd argue reverse causality in your argument. In SV, software guys were disrespected, considered replaceable until they became the company breadwinners. Good finance guys are in the same situation in other places, like London perhaps. The respect follows the money, not the other way around.
