Most people assume that this bill will have the most impact on tech startups, but I am not sure that is right. Rather, I see small, non-tech, local businesses reaping more of the rewards of this bill.
And as for salaries, that is a total red herring argument. As more startups are created and salaries rise, more people will choose programming as a career and balance out the wage inflation. But hey, so what if programmers are making as much or more than bankers and lawyers...

- kenrikm 15y agoA good programmer is like a doctor or a lawyer they can't be made overnight. What you're going to get is a bunch of developers that have a very limited skill set (I.E I can program ruby/rails and nothing else) and you will have to hire a wider ranger of lower skilled developers.
