This has always puzzled me.  It seems like programmers in the UK get paid
peanuts, but they're kinda smug about it.  I assume the 25K here is 25,000
UKP.  Which is like 40,000 USD.  Which is less than somebody fresh out of
college can expect to make.  For a 9-5 job.  While they're being paid to go
to night school to get a Master's and make even more money.
