What are the best paying jobs in this field, /g/? Is it full stack, back-end, front-end, Java EE or .NET or all?
>>54665462
C, embedded
I am not lying, this is it
>>54665490
Yes, you are lying
Ada embedded pays infinitely more money
>>54665462
The best-paying job is the one that you are most proficient at.
Now gtfo.
>>54665576
you can be really proficient at brainfuck, it doesn't mean someone will hire you
>>54665462
full stack for sure

Why haven't I heard of any low level Ada developer?
Why haven't I ever heard of an Ada developer?

it's not webdev

And that's why the wages are so high, the demand is small and the supply is even smaller.
It's mostly used in real time software where bugs could cost billions of dollars or human lives. You'll see it in nuclear submarines, missile defense systems, bullet trains, fighter jets, air traffic control systems, most commercial Beoing planes, military communications satellites, railroad transportation and NASA/ESA projects.
It's a 10/10 language and faster than almost anything except C and C++, but way safer and eliminates entire bug classes without getting in the way of low level programming. There's also SPARK 2014 which is a subset of Ada where programs can be mathematically proven to be correct which eliminates al large portion of testing.
It's also a general purpose language that could probably replace most OO languages if more people knew about it.

There's no such thing as a full stack developer. Maybe you mean code monkey.

Interesting
I have maybe heard of Ada once or twice but I'll look into it. Especially the embedded part, I was ignorant to it
>>54665866
It also comes with a mightier OO approach (however, more complex) and built-in multithreading. Ada had this stuff "before it was cool", built right into the language, no third party framework needed.
The language is not exactly newbie friendly. You should know your programming concepts and paradigms. It's not really complex either though.
With GPS it has a nice IDE.
Wrote my bachelor thesis in it.

You probably haven't heard much about COBOL programmers either but they are high paid and there's roughly a billion lines of code of it out there: http://skeptics.stackexchange.com/a/14058 (read the whole answer, especially the end)
When I started studying CS my first prof said we are doing the wrong thing because during our time the last generation of people that learned COBOL will retire and there is no group to replace them. Because there is such a huge amount of COBOL out there and it's not economic to rewrite it all, the wages for people able to maintain COBOL programs will rise pretty high. We should rather learn COBOL instead, he said.

Increasingly it's crap like Saleforce and Dynamics CRM.
