They're not going to stop until they can hire programmers out of high school and pay them 35k. That is the goal here.
Hey, by the time they're a senior, they'll be making 70k!
- commandlinefan 7y agoWell... one of two things is true: that's either possible, or it's impossible. If it's possible, then no amount of us being upset or disappointed in it is going to change things - we'll be the last generation of well-compensated programmers, and probably the last generation or programmers who don't do that job while studying for a "better" job on the side. If it's impossible, they'll continue to smash things and thrash around like a bull in a china shop, leaving devastation and destruction in their wake as they demand to have their way for decades and centuries to come, making our lives miserable the whole time (or they'll come to their senses and realize they were being unreasonable, but my money is on the former).
- resist_futility 7y agoSo no student loan debt and making 70k after 4-5 years, whats the downside? Especially if they can work from home.
- ntsplnkv2 7y agoI highly doubt they will be making 70k after 4-5 years if programmers can be competent out of a high school education.
- nobleach 7y agoAgreed. If we flood the market with programmers, the bar will most likely be raised... or salaries will simply decrease. To be clear, I still agree with teaching STEM as much as possible and bringing on the flood.
