I read this blog since 2009 (when I graduated and became a professional developer) and it’s been a continuous source of inspiration. Now, I ask of you: become a programmer and trying to do your best is a great thing and i love programming; but what happens when you live in a nation which doesn’t even recognize programming as a profession (you’re not allowed to write “programmer” on your ID card and there’s not a national collective work contract like, for example, there is for lawyers and pharmacists) and your salary tops at 30K €/year before 35% taxes, that is if you’re lucky enough to get there?
Is there any point in going on to be a programmer here, or should I leave my country as soon as possible?
