no high barrier to entry
whether you're worked to the bone or not depends on the place
but yeah, in general devs have nothing to complain about.
- filoleg 2y agoLooks like we are in agreement. Interesting sidenote, given you mentioned plumbers: being a plumber in the US has higher barriers to entry than being a dev (gotta have your apprenticeship program completed under a licensed master plumber and pass the journeyman plumber exam). On the flip side, they get paid pretty decently well.

- no_wizard 2y ago>but yeah, in general devs have nothing to complain about. I respectfully disagree. I think there's alot of room for improvement in our industry, even in regards to pay we could do better. Think of the value delivered per engineer vs what they're paid, the ratio is typically very high, meaning engineers are paid a fraction of what value they provide.
- hadlock 2y ago> they're good jobs for sure, pay-wise it would be around plumber range? This has been my observation, software developer pays about the same as a plumber or electrician in places like England, outside of select industries like high finance in London etc
