I guess it's because not everybody can work at the top 5% of companies. Not only because the entry level is higher than on average companies... it's also a question of physics: the top 5% of companies cannot hire 100% of the pool

It's just different. Why would developers in Europe make the same money as developers in China/US/Argentina? Different places, different salaries. Personally I envy the high salaries in the US (for devs) but I wouldn't m

More or less in the same boat, but slightly different. Since WFH started I don't pretend to be working anymore when I'm actually not. Before (at the office): arrive at 9am, leave at 17pm. Work (productively) for around 4h. 1h or s

In which country are you working? My full-time work contract explicitly says that I will receive X EUR/year for working 40h/week. So, yes, they are paying for hours worked.

How does k8s replace docker-compose on local machines? I have used minikube to run a local k8s cluster on my laptop and it's terrible. docker-compose works just fine.

Pardon my ignorance, but wasn't Docker supposed to fix this? (disparity of environments). I have read the other recently post as well about "Docker doesn't work on the new ARM based Macs", but I don't understand why

But you don't need numbers for that. A simple "increased user engagement by refactoring our front-end in React" is more than enough; it tells me that the goal was to "increase user engagement" (that's the great

Your question seems to imply generality ("systems design"), but the description of your question seems to imply specific tooling (e.g., Kafka). Many people have mentioned really good books (e.g., DDIA). Such books are good for gat

Well put. It took me around a month to get into the WFH mood (point 1). I have a dedicated room and I don't see (at least for me) WFH feasible without one (point 2). Regarding point 3: unfortunately, I cannot control that.
