Session is shutting down in 90 days if STF fails to reach its funding goals. - tchncs

> We had hoped this day would never come, but Session has now entered its final 90 days of operation. If we are unable to reach our funding goal within this period, the Session Technology Foundation (STF) will be forced to shut down. > > To date, the STF has received approximately $65,000 in donations. This is enough to maintain critical Session infrastructure for the next 90 days. We are extremely grateful for the support Session has received from the community, but unfortunately this is not sufficient to retain full-time developers. As a result, all paid staff and developers will have their final working day on April 9, 2026. After this date, some team members will continue on a primarily volunteer basis to help maintain Session until July 8, 2026. Note: I can not find any separate blog or mastodon post with this same text. This is a link directly to project’s donate page. There is no new snapshot on archive.org [http://archive.org] yet.

In most markets Senior developers often command salaries exceeding $150,000 USD per year

Uh… That sounds like a US thing, honestly. Which developers in Europe or Asia earn that kind of money?

Asia? That salary? Dream on
Exactly! 150k is definitely not normal, not even in Europe.

it’s no really easy to compare both as in often in Europe your salary includes healthcare and other stuff whereas in USA it’s all cash and you have to pay for everything/nothing is included

but still, it looks like a lot even if you remove everything

It’s very easy to compare. In France the average salary for a dev would be 50k. I don’t think my healthcare and retirement costs 100k. The highest you could reach if you’re lucky would be 70/80k but it’s for very specific companies.
Is it really that different between neighboring countries? I’ve seen job listings for 170 in the Netherlands and Switzerland.
Definitely. France is a country where everything is taxed. I don’t remember the percentage but, approximately, when I earn 3k, my employer must pay 3k in taxes on top of it.
