The sad thing is that given equal programming skill, you are much more likely to be hired as a programmer if you majored in science, or if you got a diploma from ivy league.

You don't actually have to be a programmer at all to get paid for being a programmer, I'm learning.  There's lots of coattail surfing routes and the like.  They probably don't result in huge pensions.  But it's pretty ironic at times.

Memorize "Cracking the Coding Interview", apply to a large enough software firm where you can find a role where you don't do any actual programming, enjoy your six figure salary and bullshit job!

I like how good we are as a forum at keeping threads on topic. Wouldn't want crazy talk about the online implementation of Dominion to derail this discussion about wages in IT jobs!

This post is not directly about software developer salary expectations and I have reported you to theory.

I definitely should have gone into industry rather than (ancillary) academia; all of these salaries except Donald's are higher than any salary I've ever had.

But you can't put a price tag on enriching the minds of others and yourself through the pursuit and transfer of knowledge.  ;)

Hello.  Name's Bruce.  It's all right.  I understand.  Why trust a shark, right?

Is quite curious - Who is the mystical "Celestial Chameleon"?

Masquerade feels pretty undercosted at 3$ and Messenger feels about right where it is so I'd say 4$.  Hope you didn't drop a full Abraham Lincoln on a document with less earning potential than a trucker's license, Kirian.

Even a Sage has standards, though.  He won't bother with anything less than $3.

I know, right?  Sadly, you can put a price tag on food and shelter.  Guess which of those is at the bottom of Maslow's hierarchy and which is at the top!

At least you can put a price tag on Shelter. It costs $1. Not so sure about food though.

Well, a Feast costs $4. That should give you an idea.

That is a good point. So I guess you can't put a price tag on food after all.

Sure you can--a Feast costs , but condiments are of variable value; Sage is , Mint is , and Salt (the Earth) is .

If you buy a man some bread, you feed him for a day. If you teach him how to bake buy him a Baker, you feed him for a lifetime.

Or, as Terry Pratchett wrote: give a man a fire, and he'll be warm for a night. But set him on fire, and he'll be warm for the rest of his life.

Also, I'm back from holidays holiday-shaped things!

Every time I open this thread I'm hoping to learn something new about the Dominion 2017 client but instead I just re-learn that software engineers have a more enjoyable job than me and that the job generally pays better than mine.

The enjoy-ability of software engineering is definitely a subjective case. My wife for one would almost certainly not enjoy the profession. I am fortunate enough to enjoy a good chunk of the things I do in my job, but I also have the privilege of doing a fair number of stupid or boring tasks as well. I wouldn't expect job satisfaction in the field to be generally better than it is in other technical jobs. (Queue someone finding a source that shows I am wrong here.)


(On topic, the new Dominion client is going to be amazing, and can assemble into Voltron if you play a 5 player game.)
