People are naturally resistent to change
- teyc 15y agoNo, I suspect it is a deeper fear. C# and Java devs have always commanded higher rates despite the HTML devs producing better looking apps and cheaper rates. With HTML being a first class citizen, I'm afraid this heralds the end of the .NET gravy train.
- sukuriant 15y agoThe private sector with in-house apps pays better than startups? Is that what I'm reading? Forgive me, but I believe I can safely disagree here.
- hello_moto 15y agoMaybe you should go to other cities outside Silicon Valley.
- sukuriant 15y agoI live in Redmond, and was comparing prices to Florida, where I used to live, actually.
- hello_moto 15y agoThere are a few things to consider: 1) Seattle is probably the top 3 hi-tech hub in USA (Silicon Valley/SF/SanJose and NYC as the other 2). 2) Are you comparing .NET dev in Redmond vs Rails dev in Redmond? Or Rails dev in Redmond and .NET dev in Florida?
- sukuriant 15y ago.NET in both places, actually, and start-up dev in SV (which I suspect makes a cost-of-living similiar pay to myself)
- heimidal 15y agoI have quite a few friends doing .NET for a living, and I can safely say that I make more than them using Ruby at work (at an ad agency, no less). They would definitely not call their jobs a "gravy train."
