    If you think programmers make less than other jobs then you’re totally out of touch.

      Not all programmers live in the US. In the UK, especially outside of London, the pay is surprisingly bad.

          My wife is a teacher. Her pay was mostly comparable to mine throughout our careers. My pay has literally tripled since working in London.

          Currently, there are senior design and development roles in my home city of Bristol that pay less than what you’d get paid as a fast food manager.

      Yeah but all the other jobs don’t leave you with crypto debt up to your eyeballs. I have $83k in credit card debt that I used to buy LUNA.
