As mentioned previously here on HN - the coder pool is binomially distributed. Theres the extremely high end coders who will get job offers falling out of the sky, and then there is everyone else. Further, this is only in America - in the EU and the rest of the world, coders don't get rock star salaries.
I'd say unions are definitely for everyone else - and especially for people in the Video Games industry.
- adenadel 8y agoI know I'm being overly semantic, but what you've described is a Bernoulli distribution :)
- AlexTWithBeard 8y agoin the EU and the rest of the world, coders don't get rock star salaries. Isn't it a part of the reason why Google (Amazon, Netflix, Apple) has emerged in the US and not in the rest of the world?
- notSupplied 8y agoIt seems likely that the dominance of American tech could be due to how they pay their engineers. It is not as clear that America dominates game development, nor that it is due to paying devs rockstar level compensation.
- Yoric 8y agoWhy would that be? I personally suspect that it's more due to a larger/richer base of potential clients/consumers.
