    As someone who has worked in fast food, warehouses, and woodworking: I know how privileged I am to be a software developer.

    Ive seen kids right out of college get hired and make more than I did, despite my having 20+ more years of experience … just because I’m self taught with no college. And then they bitch about how bad the job is.

    Insane.

      There’s also the little detail that I’m not a dev. But let the guy have his moment I guess.
