10x what, salary? Never met an engineer making 10x my wages. If you make 10x my wages, let's talk

Have you seen one with /10 salary? Or some with any combined ten times multiplier in between (like 5x and /2; or 3.16x and /3.16 [sqrt(10)])? According to Glassdoor and other salary surveys it is not a discrete 1:10 duality.

Also software developer salaries are still quite similar to real estate prices. What matters is location, location and location.

I've always thought that the multiplier was to production and time savings.

I think he may be making the point that the only real metric is salary.
