I sometimes do. I understand and agree with the authors point. On the other hand, I feel like I'm well paid in a very comfortable job for doing stuff I already liked doing. I will likely never get fired from this job and have numerous other offers without looking. From that perspective, a job in programming is "easy".
I'm not missing that there are hard things and to be honest, today is a particularly difficult day, but I understand when people say it's an easy career path.
- alkonaut 9y agoYeah I also think I have an easy life/career but I'm already an experienced dev. That we get paid handsomely to have a comfortable career is, I think, a sign that the job is hard, not easy. Pro athletes live pretty comfortably too - it's getting there that's hard.
