Samharnett··on Are programmers in the Bay Area the new working class?
Great, thanks for passing this along.
Samharnett··on Are programmers in the Bay Area the new working class?
Thanks for the input on this question, very useful. It would be great to talk with programmers on this thread in more depth about the issue. The story is about the Bay Area, so unfortunately it is a bit limited. I am interested in anyone who is looking to buy a house and settle down. What has that process been like? What class do you see yourself in? Do you worry that there will be a flood of programmers that will drive down your wage?

I've been hearing that same thing from many who work in tech. Are you a programmer and are you looking for a house now? If so, I'd be interested in talking with you about it.
