- armagon 6y ago"They keep making bank." I guess it's only been a few months since I've realized that it is mostly people in near San Fransisco who are making huge amounts of money, and people elsewhere in the world make good money, but hardly "making bank". Although, on the other hand, I was talking to a friend about how much I like Ring Fit Adventure for the Nintendo Switch, and he said something like, "It's a lot of money. You're a rich programmer, and I'm only a poor banker." :-). I suppose things are relative.
- Swizec 6y agoA lot of bank in SF, but always plenty of bank relative to other professions in the area I think. My sister is a personal trainer (back home) and compared to coding it’s kinda unfortunate. She loves it tho and I’m pushing her in directions to productize so all good :)
- bluefirebrand 6y agoThis kind of mentorship has been something I've been sorely lacking in my career so far. I wonder how common it really is to have a manager who can/will mentor like this. Most of mine have seemed to mostly just take meetings and write/assign JIRA tickets. I've had a handful of great senior devs who mentored me briefly but they often move on to bigger and better things very soon after I start somewhere
