wat

lol the hyperbole

Tiny country that has very little industry?

lol here comes the FUD

lol what? did you watch the video at all

300K is on the lower end of salaries, esp. over 8 years. This is also just run-of-the-mill individual contributors that got in very late. Early employees, senior/leads/managers/directors/vp will make substantially more.

You're also assuming they did nothing with their earnings over those 8 years - when in reality most are invested in the markets which have killed it over the last decade.

I think people in tech are making a shitload more money then most realize.

There are a lot of people in tech making a lot of money. Particularly at FANG/startups that have exited, they can "FIRE" after less than 10 years of working. I know many people in this category.

During the pandemic many people also made some changes to their lives (bought a house, moved out the city, moonlight second job, started consulting remotely, etc.).

Then you throw in the crazy rise in the markets (stocks, crypto, real estate) that many people have benefited from.

Coupled with the popularity of FIRE mentality, rise of remote work, etc, it doesn't surprise me there are big changes coming.

Not sure where you live, but 800 sqft condos are going for like $800K here in Toronto.

SFH under 2000 sqft are going for well $1.5M.

Inventory is near all time lows.

lol. try an A/B test.

A) Get rid of developers B) Get rid of dev managers

Let me know :)

Most criminals use cash. USD to be exact.

They guarantee spot rate to dollar for every transaction - so businesses never need to take that risk if they don't want to.

They are mandating that merchants must accept it as a means of transaction though.

All merchants are mandated to accept it.

Exactly. You might think crypto is worthless or a fad or whatever.

But it is by definition not a "ponzi scheme" or "scam".

Huh? FAANG has give much more than 10% returns...

Software is near impossible to estimate. Things that can be done in 1 day can sometimes take 2 weeks. And something that seems like it should take weeks can take hours.

Then you factor in the huge difference in approaches, skill, efficiency, and productivity between employees. If you are experienced, you skip the hours of googling, reading SO, etc.

You are probably pushing way harder than you need to be.

If I feel like I made good progress, I take the rest of the day off. If something should take a week and I finish it in 2 days - I take the week off.

Cryptocurrency - therefore crypto for short.
