Software developers making $100k+, why do you live like this?

@nixCraft I don’t make 100k American dollars but also I don’t live like this

@nixCraft we care about the important things :blobcatrainbow:

@nixCraft doing software development can use up all a person's ability to make decisions.

That picture is also missing the traditional stack of delivery pizza boxes

Spring Breakdown :jo:

@nixCraft I think I would want to walk out straight away. :blobsleepless:

(Fortunately, I wasn't forced to agree to work more than a sliver of hours beyond normal working ones)

@nixCraft they come from poor background and they have so many family members to support. Also most of the developers are millennials. They don’t do post support.

@beastfellow@mastodon.social @nixCraft@mastodon.social Ding ding ding ding!!

Poverty mentality is hard to break. My lifestyle might be spartan, but I'm not spending on useless stuff. I'm stacking chips so I never have to go hungry or be homeless again.

@nixCraft sleeping on the floor requires me to do at least one get up a day?

Though I suspect there is a distinction to be made between work/life balance issues, and generally have a different approach to appropriate sleeping places.

@nixCraft 16 hours on the left, 8 hours on the right. Base spend ratio 2:1.

Metrics from right good/high. Metrics from left normal/average. Additional spend justified on left.

Depreciation on left exceeds depreciation on the right. Additional spend justified on the left.

I think I'm just following the data, but I don't make 100k anymore.
