Just to reiterate this, I know many people who would become developers if they could make $400k. These are smart people with strong technical skills.
- bayesian_horse 10y agoUntil all companies are paying $400K, then they have the same problem again. And on the other hand: Can they afford these wages? I would guess that many companies would have trouble justifying that salary on a broad level.
- vostok 10y agoCompanies can afford to give massive payouts to founders and investors so I don't see how they can't spare a few dollars for developers.
