It's not a meaningful reference point for this discussion.
- pc86 2y agoOf course it's a meaningful reference point. It is the primary reference point when discussing how much someone can expect to earn in a given profession. Half the developers in the country are making less than that and it's not because they started programming in 2018, it's because 99% of developers do not get any bonus, do not get any stock, and are lucky to hit $200k total comp in their life without going into management. If you're going to say something like 90% of the workforce is under 30 you're going to need to cite something because I just absolutely do not believe that.
