Does MS Access still exist? And has anyone built the SaaS version of it?

jiriknesl03:07:51

@polymeris there are lots of apps that provide data-driven RAD. I personally like and use AirTable.

jiriknesl03:07:20

And MS Access still exists. It's part of Office365. Unfortunately it's Windows only. Airtable I mentioned isn't binary compatible. But it is SaaS that's targeting similar customers and use cases.

There goes my business idea 😕

ddellacosta22:07:49

from @metacritical: How are the Clojure salaries in Canada?

ddellacosta22:07:16

…or there

metacritical22:07:14

@jgh I actually have no clue what would be a good salary in canada, though i hope to move with a clojure job.

ddellacosta22:07:16

(although SF is off the charts)

@metacritical talk to the Kira folks, they’re hiring

jgh22:07:35

i think as i said $120k cad is roughly the going rate for a sr dev

jgh22:07:14

i was living in toronto for about 8 months this year, but wasnt working there so cant say for sure but just based on talking to people that was the impression i got

ddellacosta22:07:29

that sounds about right to me too, based on my experience

seancorfield22:07:29

I guess an additional relevant question is "How many companies in Canada are using Clojure?" so how does the job market compare with the US in terms of demand?

There seem to be quite a few remote options as well

polymeris22:07:33

So living in Canada and working in the US is an option

I can vouch for that - I've been doing Clojure work for Silicon Valley companies since 2014, living in Toronto
