A big mistake with this math is that globally developers are not paid anywhere close to 250k/yr even fully loaded for the company. In my country in Europe it's closer to 60k/yr fully loaded. There is cheaper. Also most companies aren't gonna build something from scratch, they are going to use something else that is also available. That being said this type of exercise is good to show because many managers do not do it.

Man they're really screwing developers over in Europe. That's what they earn in the third world.

Remember that Europe is quite large and not homogeneous. For sure wages are lower and less different between blue collar and white collar jobs, which is both good and bad.
We don’t know where the gp is posting from; btw in places like London or Berlin a dev can make 2x that figure.

On the other hand they do get free health care, free uni (if in the right country), a social safety net that you can actually live decently on and other services.
