Only if the market conditions can be described as such that are close to perfect competition. When top employers collude to prevent poaching of employees (Google, Apple, etc) the opposite happens. Compensation is artificially kept low in th

Are you sure? The price of the Github's service is ~$20.8 per developer per month. This is about 10-30 minutes of developers time worth per month. Adapting to Bitbucket's workflow and learning its UI would take much more time.

There is a simple path to the professional satisfaction for programmers who work primarily with web development. Learn a little marketing, a little entrepreneurship and make your own side projects. For fun, profit or social good. None of t

Your attitude is exactly the part of the problem described in the post. For me, web development with all its exaggerated quirks and fast evolution of JavaScript frameworks is very exciting.

You're learning, there is no practical benefit in limiting yourself just to one framework. Spend at least several weeks at learning all of them: Angular 2, Ember 2 and React. Learning by comparison will be much more beneficial for your

Put food on the table? Are you for real? Lawyers who work at the law firms that have expertise to represent Chelsea Manning are probably in 0.1% of top earners worldwide. If they can't work pro bono, who can?

You are right, I was confusing browser cache with CDN cache hit. In their interview they state that: "Our CDN is a huge part of the jQuery ecosystem. We usually average around 15,000 hits per second to our CDN with 99.8% of those being

jQuery CDN cache hit rate is 99.8%[0], Google CDN numbers should be comparable. So yes, you are leveraging browser cache for most popular libraries. Also I was talking from the subsequent requests from the same client. [0] https:/&#x2F

Ugh, I will never understand this reasoning. Overheads of fetching library from a CDN are applicable to the first request. Why do you consider this to be an important factor? Also can you provide any stats/citation that cache hit proba

CDN is a way to go unless you have some very specific circumstances, like increased security requirements or lack of CDN edge location near the majority of your users. jQuery CDN has something like 99,8% cache hits. And even if the browser
