Do more than expected, and that becomes your new expected output. Get the same money, over years, which doesn’t keep up with CoL and translates to a pay reduction. Jump to another job, maybe, if you can manage to do so after exhaustion from working “more than expected” and then going home to take care of life responsibility.
My code is my thoughts turned into words turned into actions. You need someone not only better than me, but far better at understanding other people’s code to use mine as well as I can. It takes about 6 months to get fully situated with a code base and process
18 months is now often you have to hop around to maximize your wages.
Programmers are not fungible. A single good one can do in their free time what hundreds of mediocre ones are unable to do with an unlimited budget…
Technology development is languishing because of this. Instead of complex code made by the best of us, we’ve introduced a requirement that it needs to be achievable by average programmers jumping into the role
And all this just because they want to depress wages
We’re not in the 20th century anymore. Shit doesn’t work that way for the vast majority, and even back then it only reliably worked that way if you were a white man.

Be civil and nice.
Try not to excessively repost, as a rule of thumb, wait at least 2 months to do it if you have to.
Wage isn’t tied to work. Wage is based on how many other people can do your job

Wage is based on how desperate they can make you.

I have so much respect for the asshole kids that work at my local taco bell
They are daring someone to fire them.
Approach intercom
Long sigh from them through intercom
Silence
Me: hello?
Them: yeah?
Me: oh hey, can I get a crunch wrap supreme and add creamy jalapeno sauce?
Them: I guess?
Me: …okay. can I also get a chicken quesadilla?
Them: I don’t care. Adds order to screen
Me: haha great. I’ll get a small root beer and that’s it.
Them: fine.
I still recount the exchange to this day. 10/10 would return.
« Quiet quitting… » Yeah stfu. It’s « Doing what you’re paid for »
It’s the american way
“No one wants to work anymore!”
Do more than expected and get promoted. Get more money. Jump to another job and get more money. Rinse and repeat.
Greed killed that decades ago.
This is not how jobs work. It never has been.

Yes, especially corporate America. The only raises you get are from job hopping every 1-2 years, which is ridiculous.
Especially with programmers.
