Again, you are just as deep in your bubble as everyone else. There are 2.7 million developers in the US. The vast majority of them are paid between $80K-$170

Again, you are just as deep in your bubble as everyone else. There are 2.7 million developers in the US. The vast majority of them are paid between $80K-$170k. They are working in banks, government, smaller startups, etc. And it doesn’t take a $400K senior developer that can reverse a binary tree on the whiteboard while juggling bowling balls while riding a unicycle on a tightrope to make a mobile app. How much do you think Delta developers make in Atlanta (hint: they aren’t making over 200K). Their app is excellent. It never ceases to amaze me how little most people on HN know about compensation throughout the industry.
