I guess the point here is that these companies are acting irrationally, and that’s bad. The way I look at it, these companies are telling you how to play the game. All you have to do is play it and you’ll make quite an impressive amount of money. Maybe C# is just as good a language as Ruby, but if Ruby pays twice as much I’m learning Ruby. (As it happens I’ve worked in both, and Ruby paid WAY more than double.) There’s a difference between some noumenal, pure engineering and having a career in this industry. I can’t think of an industry that isn’t like that, frankly. Whoever is #1 on Spotify right now is not the most technically accomplished musician in the world.
