It must be salary survey time -- I've seen a bunch roll through my inbox lately. Enterprise Systems Magazine has a section for “Programmer/Analysts” in theirs and lists the following “programming environments“, with salaries from highest to lowest:
Mainframe
XML
C/C++
COBOL
Java
VB
XML? People are still listing this? Where are the “comma-delimited” or “binary” environments?
I'd like to fault the people writing the survey for not knowing what they're talking about, but seeing stuff like this get through the editors makes me realize the whole outfit is lacking. There is an upside: Items like these help me determine which newsletters I should unsubscribe from. Thank you for reducing the clutter in my inbox, Enterprise Systems Magazine!
