I think developer salaries outpaced inflation by a decent margin.

And housing costs have outpaced salary growth by a similar margin.

In SV, sure, but I don't think that holds true in other parts of the world, even in major cities like London.

So I just did a quick google on London and I don't know if I'm missing something but it seems like senior software developer salary is less than the avarage salary (senior developer 77,500, avarage is 86,400). On glass door I see 50-70k GBP for senior developers.

This sounds horrible, but I have a feeling London/Wester Europe is unique in this regard, I can make that kind of money remoting from Croatia.

I think your average salary figure is wrong
