I'd love to help Mastodon, but this compensation package excludes people with families living in larger cities.

@jdavidnet doesn’t seem like an unrealistic salary for the area and position. We both make do with less and can support our family whilst living in the fourth largest city of the Netherlands. (And it’s probably even more expensive here than Berlin, but it’s been a while since I spoke people living there)

@sheean
I understand.

Here in SF, I don't think you could live on $70k USD annually with a family of 4.

In SF, you qualify for government assistance, even if it is $100k for a family of 4.

8-12 Years ago, I charged $125-$250/hr @ 40hr/wk for software development in SF.

I don't think I could go close to that low, even for a project I love like Mastodon.

I hope there is a better way to fund the project in the future; I currently pay for my server with Medium.

@jdavidnet yeah those rates are very high for here. If I could get 250/hour I could live much bigger than we do now, in the most expensive part of town 🥲
