I want to think there will be a correction (because in so many ways it seem obnoxious), but frankly I don't see the need for their skills falling anytime soon. Tech drives everything in our world, and specifically, software.

What kind of defeatist mentality is this? There should be a correction in the other direction, if anything.

Meaning, software dev salaries should go up at these companies?

All across the industry. Engineers seem to be the most self-defeating self-doubting bunch when it comes to money. If you create X% of the value, do you want your compensation to be commensurate with your contribution, or do you want to experience a "correction" because it's "obnoxious", while the executive class enjoys the spoils?

I have worked with brilliant software engineers who have expressed thoughts such as "personally I think I'm being paid too much". It's just crazy to me that this attitude exists, and I'm sure it's encouraged by people who don't think like that at all.
