Fucking programmers, always expecting to get paid. Why can't they be more like artists and other morons?

They should be happy to be buried up to their eyeballs in debt with useless degrees and a job at starbucks.

My thoughts exactly whenever i read "greedy devs" on Play Store for very very cheap apps. Heck I was just reading a review of notability on PC Mag and they said if you want THESE extra features,l use notability, else the free ones are good enough. (it costs $0.99) So now you're gonna think $1 isn't even justified?

Exactly, 1 dollar is half a cup of the cheapest coffee you can buy in the developed world.

[xerophtye]

yes, and factor that against the amount of coffee cups it took to make that app... Devs are so undervalued these days. Especially App devs. We so need a labour union of our own!

Every time this comes up in a serious conversation, the only thing I can imagine is someone standing behind a manager saying "no, no, you're trying to create a macro in your spreadsheet - that's a programmer's job!".

More like "No, no, no, you're trying to create an inventory management and accounting system in Excel".

Hahahaha not for the bosses, but a union that makes sure devs get properly paid for their hard work.
