Dude. That's a small salary. And besides, you're a web guy. That's not exactly taxing programming. If you wanna do anything complicated, you need to know what 1+1 equals.

Oh, god, stop. It might work on the little kids, but anyone who's ever programmed seriously knows that multiplication is more expensive than addition. Trying to explain it in long words isn't going to impress anybody older than twelve. I've designed a processor from scratch, I don't need you throwing jargon at me.

This is a new one, as it happens.

Well, it really depends on how you look at it. You could be great at coding simple things like sorts and searches, but if you can't code complicated models then you're not a good programmer. As soon as you start placing boundaries on what you can do, you diminish your worth as a coder.
