Ask HN: What Is Happening to the Market?
I am a dev with 6+ years of experience.
What is happening to the dev market? I can't help but notice a trend.
On twitter, I see 17 year old devs pulling in 120k+ annual income [1].
At 17, I had not even started my college yet.
Is this the new normal?
It all seems to be a bit surreal seeing teenagers make so much money in high school while they struggle to even make a proper git commit.

- tboyd47 5y agoWhat's wrong with that? Salary is all relative to cost of living. And Git is typically not taught in schools.

- zaphar 5y agoSoftware dev salaries are going up quite a bit. And when I was 17 I probably had enough experience doing software dev to justify getting hired. It's even easier today to get relevant experience at that age. I don't really see it as all that surprising.
