So let's get this straight. People on this thread work as programmers, and want to get handsomely rewarded for their work by their employer, but are, all too often, too tight-fisted to pay for tools -- made by people in the same industry as they are -- which will make them do their job better and deliver better results. What does this say about people in the profession? Shameful.

When I did freelance work the first thing I did was buy CLion. >What does this say about people in the profession? You tell me.

- hinkley 6y agoI pay for JetBrains tools every year. I pay for books. And I have two hobbies where I spend more on tools than I do for work. And tools for home repairs. There just aren’t that many tools for me to spend money on these days, which is a shame. I wonder if you could pull off a patreon thing where sponsors get early access?
