Lots of Indian H1-B programmers get paid much better than Indian programmers in India. Also lots of $100,000 programmers in San Francisco, where a studio apartment runs $3,600 per month. So, it depends on what your definition of well paid “is”.

Huh? Is this a California thing like crap on the sidewalks of San Francisco? What it a gig worker? Freelance folks are usually writers.

This law was not enacted to “help Uber and Lyft drivers” ... it was passed to drive Uber and Lyft out of business ti protect the interests of big-time Democrat/Left donors.

The time it didn't work there were a half dozen or so of San José's finest pulling over driver after driver after driver who failed to yield. Maybe with a couple dozen motorcycle cops (Hi Harris boys!) they could have ticketed everyone who passed through that intersection.
Maybe not.

If coding is a type of software development, it probably depends on logical thinking. So-called journalists believe in feelings, not facts or logic. They might have a lot of trouble learning to code.

Can’t they learn to code??
