    and unless someone has more than 2 legs the median will not exist.

    Not correct. The average person has 2 legs.
    The average number of legs a person has may well be 1.999.

    Java development is dead.

    You need to be a java developer who puts his code into docker containers and deploys it into kubernetes on the cloud with dev/ops pipelines to get the good rates.

    Multi-skills, that's where it's at.

    I thought they'd rebranded us as systems engineers in europe, in my experience.
    but, hey, -a rose by any other name

    You guys are coining it in. Almost 15 years later and working for less than half of before despite the increased costs of inflation. Greece has faster wage inflation than the UK in the past decade. Talk about a shafting
