From the article:

"As demand for developers increases, developer salaries will shoot through the roof. Remember, it will be easier than ever for startups to raise money, so they’ll spend a lot more of it on tech talent. I can see salaries for lead developers climbing upwards of $300k a year (in many cases they’re already getting $150k-$200k)."

Hey, why is that a bad thing???



Exactly what I was thinking. I'm a developer at a small startup that can't afford to pay their developers as much as other companies in the area, but I enjoy my job and couldn't picture myself anywhere else for a while. If my salary goes up, I'm not going to complain.
