If you think programmers make less than other jobs then you're totally out of touch.
It is lower than the US, but it's still higher than average EU salary, plus you get tons more benefits and job security. Also, with remote work, you can get a US job in Europe. You'll get paid less than if you were in the US, but more than other Europeans, while still enjoying the social benefits, and since you can accept less that makes you attractive to US companies. Main downside is having to adjust to US meeting hours.
That's the best possible outcome. We're super lucky in this industry because we have the best paying remote work opportunities out there. Before you couldn't get an SF job in a LCOL area, and even with a COL adjustment, you are still making closer to an SF salary than a rural Penn salary.
You can always cut back on expenses, you can't just increase your salary. I will take high cost of living with a high salary any day and just cut back on non essentials. If you're eating out all the time and a meal is $20 vs $5, that will add up to a lot, but if you're spending 50 cents on an egg instead of 10 cents, you'll still be making way more in a HCOL area. Plus programming has the best paying remote opportunities, so you can have the best of both worlds if you're talented.
It's pretty simple isn't it? If you want to be paid a lot of money, learn how to do what other people can't or won't. In the software industry those opportunities are all over the place. You just need to find it and take it.
I think it makes perfect sense. Those people are building something from scratch. That's a lot more responsibility and skill needed than to maintain a tiny part of a huge well established system. The people capable of doing an A+ job at building something totally new are very few and far between and the competition to hire them is fierce. The best way to move up in this industry is to build up your skill and jump ship to a new job as soon as your skill has outpaced your salary.
I don't think that's the statement. I think it's that they were hoping that they could ignore it but weren't about to.
They've been doing stuff like this non-stop since he was elected. It just takes time, especially when you're trying to do things right instead of just breaking shit, plus there's tons of obstruction you need to deal with and many appointed positions last more than a term so you need to Wait for new positions to open up to get a majority on a lot of boards. If you want to make this argument the burden of proof is on you to check that they didn't have hurdles that prevented them from doing it sooner.
Yeah probably. How long until every site with user generate content starts banning texas?
So they'll stop injecting ads in the middle of videos at the worst possible times right?

Very possible they made an edit. I've seen some terribly written headlines posted that were copy pasted from the article but with a better one after you visit it. Sometimes I wonder if it's on purpose. Get the benefits of a shitty click bait headline on social media without the shame of having it on your site when users get there. For article content it could be that they rush the article out to get the SEO boost of being first, then actually finish the article after.
