Is 29 years old too old to become a full stacks developer?

I'm the guy who made the post about someone making 55k/year, and no, they do not live in silicon valley

55k/year is shit pay for anything involving dev work. It's entry level pay, and the raw number is lower than it was in the late 90s. So not even inflation explains why you're making shit compared to Xoomers. Hiring pajeets was a mistake. Training pajeets to replace you was a mistake.

Nobody is denying that, just pointing out that 55K in the midwest leaves you better off than 100K in silicon valley or NY

Yeah, that's true. So how can we /midwest/erners get a comfy telecommuting job at Microsoft?

are you illiterate? they were clearly entry-level, having no prior dev work experience

LOL boomer whaddu ya think

breh wut my big bro retired at 23 in 2014. it is now 2019

that depends on what your expenses are.
if you want a big house and have no debt, less pay in a less expensive area is better.
If you don't mind living in an apartment and/or have a lot of debt, higher salary in a more expensive area is better.

plus, you can always work in an expensive area for a few years and then retire to a cheaper one with all the money you saved up.

This.

And "MEAN"? Seriously? "Learn the one thing so fucking terrible even braindead PHP rejects won't touch it" is great advice. Especially when both companies stupid enough to use it have moved off of it. Anyone who ever uses mongo for anything is 100% retarded.

node is a big deal, who gives a shit what PHP boomers have to say?
rails is dying out, people still use django though because python is way more popular than ruby
ruby isn't used much aside from rails these days
lol my university taught with mongo instead of mysql or some shit
