>Ok in this case would be ~4000-4500k€/month for a relatively experienced software engineer Wow that's insane . Experienced, talented Americans are making 4x or more than experienced Swedish SEs. I wouldn't be surprised

>For that kind of money, you typically need to be a manager (team lead at least). False. You have to be very senior, but you do not need to 'typically' be a manager. There was a spreadsheet a few months ago on HN showing that

This guy should be fired both for harassment and incompetence. First of all, this guy is supposed to be biz dev. We are not talking about a rude comment by an engineer, people skills and sensitivity/understanding of business etiquette

The vast majority of people making money from stock compensation are at big companies that give generous RSU grants, so I'm not really sure how much of what you say is applicable. I think people absolutely consider RSUs as a factor i

Tripled salary? I suppose if you're awful. I think you have no idea what US devs make compared to their european counterparts if they're worth their salt.

The whole point of abstractions is that you don't have to worry about as much. Generics take away complexity, that's the whole point.

Ah, so you can't argue with me, so you're going to try the ol' appeal to authority ("i've worked on such big code bases that you'll never see"). You seem to assume I'm some naive recent grad. I'v

can you articulate the exact cost of adding generics? The benefits are profound, and the PL community has been doing research on it for the last forty some odd years. Some of the benefits are opportunities for * specialization * reductio

As others have said, the problem is getting the interview, not getting hired. You'll have to get a recommendation from someone to get an interview, either by doing Open Source or Stack Overflow or attending conferences or something. O

You don't really need to make any more then that if you're front running your own trades!

If this is true, why did the salary spreadsheet on HN last month show that some programmers are earning 3x, 4x, or even 5x others? Non managers are pulling over 400k at companies just as engineers. Do you think this is untrue?

I was in the industry for 12 years struggling until I made a good salary. Before then I was making 90k or less some years. Sometimes it takes a while. The awesome thing about the tech industry... what you did or make this year doesn'

Why kotlin and not scala? Kotlin is like Scala--, in addition to not really having a job market.

> The value of money being cut in half is what's referred to as 'inflation' and it's not what is being discussed. So your claim is that low interest rates aren't a cause of inflation?

Eh, most of my post was an emotional response because of my hatred of the java language. Your reasoning I mostly agree with. I do agree, the JVM is a solid language choice. I also don't think going with too esoteric of a language is
