- DiggyJohnson 3y agoRespectfully, I had no idea what you were talking about without a few google searches. AR == Argentinian Peso 542k ARS == $1600 USD So I guess I’ll ask some questions: 1) Is the Argentinian software labor pool large and organized enough to be accessible to international firms? 2) Is this the average wage of a software developer in Argentina? Or some larger group? 3) Why is this relevant in this discussion?
- colechristensen 3y agoI worked with some great Argentine contractors some years ago, I understand there is a nontrivial offshoring software labor pool. There is a point that offshore contractors getting access to such software represents a ... larger proportion of compensation, especially among the several such SaaS per-user fees most tech companies will pay. But there's also a counterpoint... docker wants somewhere between $5 and $30 US dollars per month per user, yes this is annoying because the value doesn't seem to be there for docker desktop which is all most people want anyway... on the other hand it's not such a moral issue... it's not much money at all.
- ElectricalUnion 3y ago> AR == Argentinian Peso Nope, ISO 4217 says it's ARS. AR is the ISO 3166 contry code for Argentina. > 1) Is the Argentinian software labor pool large and organized enough to be accessible to international firms? Yes? > 2) Is this the average wage of a software developer in Argentina? Or some larger group? Average wage of Argentina. > 3) Why is this relevant in this discussion? People like to think people only live in the US.
