WebStorm | it seems in my country node jobs pay about $20k more a year than rails jobs |
WebStorm | I guess if I want $20k extra I should stick to node |
WebStorm | I did some research |
pulse | people who see programming just as a way of making money weird me out |
deniska | pulse: I started programming because it seemed like a fun thing to do, and as a bonus I can also have jobs involving it |
pulse | deniska, that's a proper mindset |
deniska | but caring about programming only from 9 to 5 is a valid mindset too |
pulse | deniska, disagreed |
pulse | if you treat programming as a way to get money then your code will necessarily suck |
pulse | you should treat code with all the respect it deserves, and consider money as a happy side product |
pulse | it's the same in any other craft, to be honest |
pulse | prioritizing money means you don't give the craft the attention it requires |
rindolf | pulse: and it likely will result in less money |
pulse | rindolf, yes, ironically enough |
