It's amusing to observe "Location-Based Pay" just pop into existence and for the only purpose of lowering the wage of whoever's hired. Programmers have been capable of working from home since the internet matured. Value doesn't comes from location, instead it's from a programmer's skill and ability of simplifying the task needed to be completed by maintainable code. There's no serious argument for location-based pay. Yes, there's people all over the world. Nothing has changed recently besides programmers being forced to work from home because of the pandemic.
