No because more new coders would drive salaries down. As a developer who enjoys being paid a butt-load, I propose we raise the bar even higher.

- gyulai 4y agoSounds great! I'll set up a professional body for CBPs (certified brainfuck practitioners) and will get my cronies in government to pass a law against code being written in any language other than brainfuck or by any person who isn't a CBP. You can become a CBP by apprenticing with me for 3 years, during which time you'll do software projects for my clients. Obviously the clients will pay me, not you, and I'll pocket the difference between what they pay me and the minimum wage I'll be paying you. In return, I'll teach you nothing, and I'll reserve the right to kick you out on the street before your 3 years are over. This model works great for other professions. And I'm getting too old anyway to be making my living in any way other than by rent-seeking -- which seems to be what everybody else is doing.
