A horizontal box-and-whisker chart compares annual developer compensation across countries in 2023, with colored bars grouped by continent. The joke comes from presenting stark salary differences between countries as a visually dramatic ranking, making it useful as a reaction to discussions about developer pay, remote work, or relocation. It is shared when someone wants to compare tech salaries or highlight economic inequality in software development.
