Maybe it's just that if you're from one of those places you likely have no formal credentials and no relevant local employment options, not at you recruitable abroad. So they do what they can, and a small fraction are successful in good or bad ways.
- yters 6y agoAlso I notice that coders from wealthy backgrounds focus on high level languages, abstractions, etc. I don't see a lot of people digging down to the fundamental technical implementation, and actually tend to look down on such inclinations as over optimization. On the other hand, a poor person probably has access to a very limited range of technology, so ends up learning the technology inside and out. Maybe they also don't even have regular electricity or internet, so has to learn technology using pencil, paper and by thinking about it. Much more likely to give a deep understanding of the subject matter.
- dzhiurgis 6y agoWealthy people have to be more productive as they are paid more for their productivity.
- autonoshitbox 6y agoNot a valid argument.
- yters 6y agoBeing paid more for productivity would imply the opposite about wealthy people, in my mind.
- dzhiurgis 6y agoAre you implying that working less while delivering more is somehow bad (or working equally and delivering 10x is somehow perverse?)
- yters 6y agoThose aren't the only possible options. Another is that if a person is paid more for the same productivity, they are incentivized to be less productive.
