Honest to god, how hard do you think his job really is?

It's like a plumber coming over and hitting a pipe with a hammer and charging you $300. You paid $5 for the effort and $295 for the knowledge of where to hit the pipe.

I mean how hard is software engineering? Should people be paid $500k? Garbage collectors work harder than most FAANG engineers I know.
