Real Struggle 😔
Nothing hits harder than watching your non-technical manager fumble through the browser's print dialog for 10 minutes while you sit there knowing Ctrl+P exists. The real kicker? They're probably in a meeting about "digital transformation" right after this. Meanwhile, you're over here automating entire workflows with Python scripts you wrote during lunch, but sure, let's all celebrate Karen finally figuring out how to click "Save as PDF" from the dropdown menu. The salary gap is real, folks—inversely proportional to technical competence since forever.

Who Feels Like This Today
The AI/ML revolution has created a new aristocracy in tech, and spoiler alert: traditional developers aren't invited to the palace. While ML Engineers, Data Scientists, and MLOps Engineers strut around like they're founding fathers of the digital age, the rest of us are down in the trenches just trying to get Docker to work on a Tuesday. Web Developers are fighting CSS battles and JavaScript framework fatigue. Software Developers are debugging legacy code written by someone who left the company in 2014. And DevOps Developers? They're just trying to explain to management why the CI/CD pipeline broke again after someone pushed directly to main. Meanwhile, the AI crowd gets to say "we trained a model" and suddenly they're tech royalty with VC funding and conference keynotes. The salary gap speaks for itself—one group is discussing their stock options over artisanal coffee, while the other is Googling "why is my build failing" for the 47th time today.

The UK gave us Alan Turing, Tim Berners-Lee, and the ARM architecture, yet somehow pays their developers like they're interns at a failing startup. Nothing like inventing modern computing and the World Wide Web only to reward your tech talent with salaries that barely cover a London flat share and a Tesco meal deal. The classic "we'll pay you in prestige and rainy weather" compensation package.

The transatlantic compensation gap hits different. American devs swimming in six-figure salaries, stock options, and enough perks to make a small nation jealous - represented by Homer as a bejeweled monarch. Meanwhile, European developers are eating ramen in their underwear, wondering if they should've just become baristas instead. The salary difference is so astronomical it's practically a different currency system - one measured in "yachts per quarter" versus "can I afford name-brand cereal this month?"
