After this, people are still wondering why developers earn $100,000+ salaries.
- GFK_of_xmaspast 10y agoI don't think that follows?
- dimgl 10y agoI don't get it.
- mjsweet 10y agoI think they mean that as developers, we should be continually learning?
- pmarreck 10y agoI think that most people would have used interim time to, oh I don't know, travel? finish a game? not do more "work"
- fucking_tragedy 10y agoDevelopers get paid market price for their labor, right now employers pay them above median salary, some commenter on HN wants to point out a correlation between this particular developer's choice to spend their time to learn a new skill and their current market valuation suggesting that the latter follows from the former.
- rckclmbr 10y agoAgreed, welders for example spend a lot of their spare time working on side projects, learning new ways of welding, etc. Carpenters spend a lot of time on family and friends home projects. There is no correlation between a programmers willingness to learn and the median salary for the industry
