Isn't coding just ifs and for loops?
- sp332 4y agoOk, and we don't make a billion dollars doing it.
- Kranar 4y agoYou're literally on a site founded by a billionaire who coded.
- djbusby 4y agoHe is not We.
- sidlls 4y agoThe rate at which finance mints extremely wealthy workers dwarfs the rate at which software does.
- lotsofpulp 4y agoI would bet on the opposite, at least since 2008.
- Kranar 4y agoDoesn't look like it dwarfs it. According to Forbes, 15% of billionaires are in finance, 12% are in fashion, 9% are in tech.
- sidlls 4y agoThe comparison would be more accurate with the relative sizes of each industry. Pretty sure there are more software engineers than people working in similarly skilled finance jobs.
- smabie 4y agoI think it's probably pretty pretty similar actually. I would say tech probably has worse median outcomes but better right tail outcomes than finance.
- sp332 4y agoViaweb was sold for about $50 million worth of Yahoo stock. So more than 95% of the first billion was from something other than coding.
