I honestly can't comprehend someone writing #1 as anything but a joke. You're seriously upset that Google can afford to hire good talent and doesn't treat its employees like shit?
Also, "Shame on you for not squeezing salaries to cut your costs" is not a way to attract good developers.
- lmkg 15y agoI'm going to give the author the benefit of the doubt here, because sarcasm is notoriously hard to transmit through text. I think he's being tongue-in-cheek while complaining that hiring is difficult because Google/Facebook/etc have collectively raised the bar about what sort of compensation is expected to levels that are hard for him to match.

- clownz0r 15y agoBut do developers really think that the bar has been raised because of that? None of the developers I know expect Google-like compensation from their employers. Sure, it will be harder to get the best talent because he'd have to compete with Google, but there are plenty of developers for whom that isn't the case.
