Living paycheck to paycheck is disturbingly common

I can believe this. Realtors, on a %-based fee, have to show their clients how much they’re making (for other clients). If a realtor turns up in a Mercedes, they’re basically saying: “I’m a good salesman/woman”.

Devs in SF display status in other ways. HN karma? Exits? Economists call those “hard to fake” status displays.

lol. I'm pretty sure that on the scale of status displays... hn carma rates pretty low.

No, developers display status more directly, by pointing at a thing and saying "I did that" - or on a lower level, simply displaying intelligence and domain specific problem solving ability.
