"the biggest technological problem we have now is how to keep eyeballs throughout the globe glued to your app or service"
It's funny because there's so many more meaningful problems you can solve as a programmer. However, most of those jobs pay a little bit less.
- noir_lord 6y agoThe delta is smaller outside the US though. I mean it is insane to me on a rational level that an embedded engineer/programmer working for a company designing avionics software/train control software in the UK/France or Germany earns less (by half) what someone in SV does working for some start-ups. I get the whole "they are paid what the market determines they are worth thing" but intuitively I find it weird. If I could do my life over again I'd have gone to Uni and done electronics and then moved into that kind of field, not for the money - it's about the same but because it is interesting and you get to point at a train or plane and say "it's safer because I did my job".
