Don't you think its funny that we pay academics a fraction of how much we pay tech workers and yet we expect so much more from them?

- nvm0n2 3y agoNo because "we" don't pay academics, universities do. It's their decision to hire more professors instead of paying the existing ones more, it's their decision to create siloed departments etc. The system has plenty of money, but universities and grant agencies allocate it very badly despite being mostly staffed by academics and ex academics.
