High-Frequency Programmers Revolt Over Pay

An anonymous reader writes "Programmers who design and code algorithms for investment banking are unhappy with their salaries. Many of them receive a low 6-figure salary whereas their bosses — who manipulate these algorithms and execute the trades — often earn millions. One such anonymous programmer points out that he was paid $150,000 per year, whereas the software he wrote was generating $100,000 per day."

    Wow, you dumb much?

    Or can you point to a single example in the article of someone not going somewhere else and just complaining? There's a bunch of examples in the article you are too illiterate to read surely one of them backs up your implication of them just complaining...

    The money that passes though these guys could have been used to produce useful goods and services instead of feeding the pleasures of fat greedy pigs.

    I feel the same way about where my tax money goes.
