Please stop subsidizing these institutions. The US backed loan system for ever-climbing tuitions are an obvious cartel. Never mind the uselessness and lack of ROI of most degrees i…

How about no workspace at all. Can we all drop the collective illusion about cramming into an office together to "brainstorm" or whatever?

Ummmmm, I'll continue taking the high salary every day. When I go home, where I REALLY live, it will be there that I enjoy myself in comfort and relative luxury.

Yes, they keep having their estates and legal residences in Florida, Texas, etc.

Tons of Frenchies do that. Hell, thats basically Docker. A bunch of smart Frenchineers that wanted to get paid what they're worth for a while. Im talking about founders and those f…

Thats it exactly. The math lays bare the truth of the hampster wheel in the usa. And Europeans rarely overwork. Its weird to be in the office after 7. In france its illegal for my …

Literally the exact same offer I accepted for me, but in Berlin. I prefer Bavaria but all my biz is in Berlin. +1

Really not true in my experience. For senior devs with one or two solid infra/CLOUD/multi app deploys under their belts. Hired.com and LOCAL french recruitment firms (talent.io) re…

Yes, usually 10-20 Euros a workday.

Like everything, ymmv. You are correct about lower junior salaries but taken in the context of an even lower cost of living...go to Berlin. Also sounds weird to say but germans are…

American in Paris for 1 year working as a Senior DevSecOps Engineer (or whatever they want to call us). Went from 225kUSD/yr in usa to 95kEUR in Europe (most senior devs are lucky …

I wonder if every bootcamp flooding the market with Rails devs and subsequently putting huge downward pressure on wages had anything to do with waning interest. I saw this happenin…

Irrelevant point. Whether it's fiscally prudent or not is what's at stake. Generally it would seem it's not a good idea (financially) to have kids. If you must, wait until your car…

476 teens. Not a big sample.

"Experienced COBOL programmers can earn more than $100 an hour when they get called in to patch up glitches, rewrite coding manuals or make new systems work with old." $100/hr does…

Just an opinion having spent a few months on a few in rural NC: Hippies are well meaning, but generally bad at the logistical/business angles to running these within a broader stat…

The virtue signaling is strong with this one.
