Hi I work for a printing company as a full-stack developer. My work involves things like writing API wrappers to ingest order flow so our customers can print brochures, or building web UI tools to create and order print resources. The last algorithm I wrote was to generate 5000 unique BINGO cards. Please explain to me how my salary comes from eroding privacy.
- divideby0829 8y agoI think we can agree that what you do and what your salary "come from" can be distinct and can be influenced by other things. There are engineers at FB whose sole job is maintaining REACT.js but they are paid from the money made from selling data. Further, and I want to make it clear that I don't mean this as a value statement, but is a printing company what most of us really think of a the "tech" industry? and by extension does that really make you the subject of what you are replying to?
- Zecar 8y agoThere is a huge amount of tech in the print industry, believe it or not
- thewarrior 8y agoThe demand from these mega companies and their pay keeps your pay high.
- Zecar 8y agoNo it doesn't. We don't sell to any tech companies. We do like, manuals for baby seats and stuff like that.
- thewarrior 8y agoIt does indirectly because their demand inflated demand for programmer talent. The money they have to acquire companies raises the valuation of all startups. I’m surprised most people don’t realize this.
