whatbluff

What are you talking about? I'm a totally average programmer, hell, maybe below average for my age and experience level, and I literally walked on a job that wanted to make me do uncompensated on-call at the end of 2019 for one that compensates me to be on call.

It doesn't have to be a bluff, programmers are still in high demand.

And I'm not even in Silicon Valley, and I have no degree. C'mon!
