We are talking about average here and 80+ is not average. The whole point was the the suggestion of moving would be a pointless exercise. > as job coders are 21st century factory workers, its not on lawyer/doctor/accountant lev

Still not EU and both examples are high-expense countries where wages naturally are higher too, but that does not solve the problem. And as for Germany, it shouldn't be 60+, but rather 80+ to match the expectation of being significantl

It's interesting how the vast majority of comments focus on the salary part when the author actually only lightly touched that subject and mostly covered a completely different subject. Does that tell something about the readers? ;)

"going freelance" is just as simplified as the other comment of "simply moving to the US".

Fully agree with the author. Even if he might have over-simplified things, the bottom line is true.

"moving to the US" is a very generic statement. For starters, one can't simply move but needs to fulfill the immigration requirements, one of which is employment which one has to first find. So no, it's not as easy as yo

Less than a minute and my assumption already proved to be true. Fascinating how people crave for echo chambers.

At this point all of this is just an old-fashioned witch hunt. Rowan Atkinson was not referring to Trump but his exact words apply here. People's mentality has not changed even a bit since medieval times. Wouldn't be surprised if

That is not exactly true. There was no second referendum, but there were two general elections and in both the party pushing for Brexit decisively won. Labour would have probably stopped Brexit and people could have voted for them, but they

That's a good point and probably worth trying out, nonetheless it is a shame that one would need to apply such trickery for something which was pretty straightforward a few years ago. Also, the question would still be where to use that

That particular feature is mostly for bug reports however, not so much for general questions. Also, where would you find the Github page for Android's Room for example?

In recent years every single question I posted on StackOverflow was a 0-answer. It didn't use to be.

I don't even know what Matrix is :) So, essentially everything is a chat these days?

But the question was where to turn for specific questions. Very much like newsgroups.

So it is mostly chats these days? Would you happen to have a few suggestions for Android?
