  Programming salaries are so inconsistent and these salaries by language become so meaningless.

  My buddy who works in Google makes 600k but can also call himself a Typescript developer. I’m a dept lead but I’ve spent the past few months fixing code, so depending on how the question is asked, id look like a overpriced jQuery/Angular/bash developer.

    This is true, but the Stackoverflow datapoint was the only quantitative one I could think of. Anecdotally, I see senior COBOL developers making less than juniors but still thinking they’re paid lots
