    Total bullshit. I've been programming for thirty years in esoteric languages you've never heard of, and I haven't seen one dime for my work.

    You're lying and you know it. What is truly infuriating is how lying little shits like you keep spreading the completely false rumor that programming is extremely lucrative. Nothing could be further from the truth. Outside of the make-believe fantasyland you fucking liars have fabricated, programming pays exactly nothing.

    Stop misleading everyone, you deceitful turd.

    As a cost centre manager I am paying out these rates I describe. I don't know where you are based geographical and what skill sets you have but you can still get very good pay indeed as a programmer especially if you specialise. I have no need to lie about these things on a site like soylent news. I will grant you there are some strange patterns in programming rates e.g. after 15 years of Java programming experience the rate goes flat. Also younger programmers are often more expensive than older ones as if you have been around a bit you probably have fixed housing costs from a mortgage when house prices were lower versus younger developers who will be attempting to rent at today's crazy prices.
