You mean overpaid, right?


Yes, I meant overpaid -- apologies for the typo.

From what I can tell, despite the enormous amount devs are being paid, It seems like we're still on the underpaid side of the balance, especially depending on where you are.


I agree. Otherwise the biggest capitalists who claim to love competition just s'damn much wouldn't have created a cabal to keep salaries down.


Yes, also somewhat anecdotally if you look at the value being generated at these companies versus what they're paying out it's astronomical.

I know we're way past piece work economies but the ratio has to be off.
