- seattle_spring 5y agoJust so I understand your position: you are saying delivery drivers should be paid the same as software engineers?
- lnxg33k1 5y agoHe said JavaScript developers not software engineers
- lghh 5y agoI don't understand the distinction you're making. Can you explain?

- MispelledToyota 5y agoSoftware Engineers use assembly.
- seattle_spring 5y agoAssembly? Ha! A real engineer would write code directly in binary.
- AnimalMuppet 5y agoWould octal be good enough? (Guess my mother qualifies as a real engineer, but I don't.)
- paxys 5y agoBinary? I bet you haven't even heard of butterflies.
- r0b05 5y agoAbsolute mad lad.
- paxys 5y agoAnd yet you won’t be willing to pay a 4-10x premium on your grocery order to make that feasible.
- SilverRed 5y agoIt doesn't really matter what the customer is willing to pay. Its all about how many people are willing/able to do the job vs how many people need the job done. If you offer to pay 10x the price but the company is still able to find someone at the same pay, the company or management will take the extra.
- code_duck 5y agowhy would we pay the pickers thousands of dollars an hour?
- TulliusCicero 5y agoYou think 10x their current wage is thousands of dollars an hour...so you think their current wage is hundreds of dollars an hour?
- code_duck 5y agoNo, what I’m calling into question is that 10x wages for employees results in a 10x premium for groceries. Wages are not that high a component of consumer price. Another tongue in cheek way of responding to GP would be that we should pay JavaScript developers $12.50 an hour with no benefits.
