I'd love to, but I don't really have a choice at the moment.

Maybe I'm just at the wrong place at the wrong time, but as a software engineer I don't feel like I'm doing any actual engineering and solving meaningful problems, just spaghetti gluing random frameworks, packages and services together. The only problems I get to solve are those caused by the quirks of all these incompatible things being forced to work together. It's draining.

This hits so deep, and you can't even quit, or you will starve to death.

Honestly, I wish i would be replaced by an AI soon, I spent 4 hours today, trying to figure out why my injected html tag is refusing to focus (missing tab index), whilst I ve been doing this job for years now, I think it's enough, let the AI read and write the docs and implement the tech itself, while people can just tell it what they need in general sense. I m leaning more toward farming nowadays, and doing work that has more impact.

marmoure commented on Ask HN: What a universal remote job salary should be?    · Posted by u/marmoure

The person should get what the market process decides. If a person lives in a "poor" country, it changes nothing. They can spend less? Sure, but peeping in other's pocket under capitalism is a huge communist red flag :-) Maybe the person has opportunities to relocate to a "developed country", but chose deliberately to get more money instead of "social support".

no when you look at it they are not spending less(beside rent) they are just buying lower quality stuff to sustain life an iphone is an iphone all around the world you wont find it for 50$ if you are getting paid 100$

It should be dependent solely on the negotiations skills of a candidate
