$5000 monthly salary?
My heart goes out to all the oppressed programmers in the EU.
- ben_w 2y agoEU isn't "third world". Kenya is, and at current exchange rates the range in this citation is $558-$1876/month: https://www.glassdoor.com/Salaries/kenya-software-engineer-salary-SRCH_IL.0,5_IN130_KO6,23.htm?countryRedirect=true https://www.glassdoor.com/Salaries/kenya-software-engineer-s...
- llm_trw 2y agoWith salaries like that it's not first world either. If op is trying to catch up to frontier models locally on a budget 1/5th of what you can get in the west then I can see why she would feel the way she does about Ai.
- ben_w 2y agoWhat are you even talking about? You said a month's salary; cedws said "third world" devs can't afford $5000 — and this is correct, third world devs can't afford that. cedws did not say EU, they said third world, at least not here. You said EU, not them. When you reply to me with "With salaries like that it's not first world either", who is "they"? The country I said explicitly was third world? Because that's a tautology.
