Why does the tech stack matter?
- rsj_hn 5y agoif you believe that, say, C++ devs earn more than JS devs, it would matter. If you aren't sure and want to find out, it would also matter.
- bspear 5y agoDo specific tech stacks have more earning power though? Which ones?
- vineyardmike 5y agoLiterally the whole point of this thread is that it’s not known because (this) data doesn’t include it.
- wongarsu 5y agoThere are a lot of ways to look at it. I think [1] is one of the better attempts and would suggest that the spread is much bigger for average jobs than for the highest paying positions, and that e.g. Scala, Rust, Perl or Go will earn you more money than Dart, JavaScript, PHP or Java. Also apparently jobs with DynamoDB pay almost twice as good on average (median) as jobs with Firebase; and Postgres or MSSQL pays better than MySQL or Oracle. 1: https://stribny.name/blog/salaries-by-language/ https://stribny.name/blog/salaries-by-language/

- democracy 5y ago... well, we would like to make sure you can deliver value ASAP, I fail to see why it can be any different?
- lbrito 5y agoHow does it not matter? Do you equally enjoy working with every technology? Would you not care if you had to use a different operating system than whatever you've been using, let alone languages?
