[–] EhForumUser@lemmy.ca 5 points 2 years ago (1 child) The comment’s math would mean developers are making roughly 306,000/year. Yes, developers at places like Google are making that much. Not the average developer, but nobody said the average developer. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] toasteecup@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago (1 child) Correct no one did, you however said "lots of developers" even if you added up all of developers at the FAANG companies you still would not have an appreciable percentage of the developers in the US workforce let alone the world. So no. Not lots of developers. A very small few. Truthfully probably even fewer than that because not even Google wants to pay 300k per developer only to qualified/experienced developers. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] EhForumUser@lemmy.ca 1 point 2 years ago* if you added up all of developers at the FAANG companies you still would not have an appreciable percentage of the developers in the US workforce let alone the world. Hmm. I've never taken "lots" to be a proportional term before. The dictionary uses "a lot of people at the gala last night" as an example of how "lots" is often used. What kind of gala is attended by an appreciable percentage of the world's population? Words can mean whatever want them to mean, of course, but in terms of common usage, surely it implies something like hundreds of people at best? permalink fedilink source parent
