I don't remember ever seeing a flag link.. so have never downvoted. But I do upvote stuff I like and especially stuff I think is being censored by group think... so that could explain why my flag priviliges where never given or taken a

really... if anything SDE are underpaid compared to the skills/competency they give in return.. We don't tell other professionals to take a pay cut cause a whole bunch of people are doing it tough...

That may well be the case but a dev should not trade his/her time at similar rates to other skills that didn't take much time/effort to learn.. dev skill isn't a common one, it takes a special kind of mindset to be a hal
