For a recent home remodeling project I paid an Architect $90 hr and the Plumber $130.
There's nothing diminishing about being a Plumber.
"Software is eating the world" means there is more demand for developing systems than designing them.
- jxub 8y agoYes, I guess developing/architecting are largely orthogonal to paycheck, it's more about the current market forces than the position in this scale. However, our lizard brain status system still associates directing and leading things with more status than just requirements implementation and there is no way around that yet. Also, less demand means that this more "abstract thought" type of positions are more prestigious by the virtue of scarcity.
