Cruel generalizations are neat. It's like racism, but against the people who gave you that speeding ticket that one time.

I put you at 2 years -- one year to see this every month on Reddit, and then a year after the exodus.
I'm barely able to remember watching Star Wars in the summertime in the theatre.
When you run git-bash from an install of the git suite, that's a valid pathname.
Oh. Just on my system?
I think you did think so, based on context.
Glad I could answer your question for you.

I stopped there. Enough kowtowing to the toejamophage.
- I run with a preferred name instead of a Rupert J Farnsworth III name (actually it sounds like another name of a criminal; not as bad as my buddy Chuck Manson's name, but someone says 'hyuk hyuk' a few times a year).
- I don't have a phone number that will ring and get me. My personal phone is set up as a tablet and has no usable number and can't receive calls or text messages.
Guess that and the lack of a good app means I can't sell anything on the play store.
My old employer used to have people on staff just for technical writing. Some of that writing became the man pages you know, and some of it was 'just' documentation for commercial products - ID management and the like.
Then we sued IBM for breach of contract, and if you ask anyone about it they'll parrot the IBM PR themes exactly, as their PR work was brutal. People in Usenet and Forums were very mean, and the company decided to stop offering much of the stuff that it was for free. It was very 'f this'.
If man pages needed a volunteer to maintain, I know why ours tapered off.

assume that productivity is a feature of an individual and not a feature of a team. That’s a wrong assumption. The fairest way to pay is same salary for the whole team.
So much of what we do produces nothing, but prevents a lot. There is definitely a reason to pay for experience and seniority: it's not so much about creating widgets faster but more about not making short-sighted decisions. And in dev work, we have a high chance of making bad decisions as we're second-generation lost-boys.
Having said that, those individuals are out there for whom compensation starts competitive and ends just short of their value. It's eye-opening to meet and talk with these people and, once you do, it will change your life having them in it.
When we kept saying:
Literally anyone except Hillary would do better.
But did anyone listen after you said 'literally'? I usually tune out when a 'litchally' hits the floor. Sorry, but it's true.
Damn.
Remind me - those were bastard who arrested the terrorist? Bastards, right? The AmericanCopsAreOnlyBastards brigade hasn't stopped by yet.
