I disagree. There is a large supply of programmers. There is a small supply of good programmers.

The good ones, if they know their own value, get paid well.

I'm currently paid well. They went through 50 applicants before getting to me and now rely on me to keep multiple systems running smoothly that run a 100 million dollar company.

I do have a college education, but have been working on some sort of code almost every day since I was 13 years old (now I'm 40).

Many of the things I do for work are easy...mostly because I know the systems so well.
