a) WT ever living F. How many programmers are making that much. Like really. Discounting CTOs, VPs, etc.... like actual "i write code for a living" people.
Are there even 100?
b) even if there are _none_ of those people are writing freaking ad software, or anything even remotely close to it. They're prolly doing seriously brainiac next level AI and quantum computing stuff. Sure, some of them may work at google and thus get paid for it but.... no. just ... no.
Yes, programmers make ad software. Yes, programmers mostly use ad blocking software and are thus unaffected by their creations.
but WTF is with this perception of $750k/yr being anywhere even _remotely_ near what the average programmer gets? Like. that's not only not in the same neighborhood, it's not in the same planet.
