His comment was offhand, but was rooted in truth. Wake up, this is a 'bay' thing. People in this thread are throwing around salaries that amount to more than any doctor, lawyer, or politician makes in most major world cities. A lot of people in here need a reality check, comparing their 'profession' of front end jQuery to what a doctor does - I can't believe the person above made that remark. You're all worth what the market will pay, yes, but have some humility please. We all know we're in a bubble here, no need to get a big head about it and act like 100K+ is your god given right to what amounts to one of the least capable, accountable, and professionally trained careers in the developed world. Pipe down, nobody in the late 90's bubble talked like this. |

Most developers are underpaid, most don't even know by how much. We provide a lot value, we automate things resulting in tremendous savings for the businesses.
Most doctors don't need to learn constantly. And we're not talking jQuery. Yes, there are hacks out there who only know it, and they do deserve a low pay. Most front end developers need to know a lot more than just jQuery to make a modern website. HTML/CSS/JS/optimization/image compression/SVG/frameworks/cookies/local storage/browser compatibility/W3C validation/debugging/data structures/algorithms/etc. The list goes on and on.
If programming were easy, everyone would do it. There's a reason developers are expensive.
