I don't have to clean up and slog through fecal matter, which I've done. I don't have to pull electrical wire and get shocked, because it was still live, which I've done. I don't have to work in a kitchen that's 100 degrees and hope that I don't slip and spill 300+ degree oil on me, which I've done.

My friend almost got Hepatitis C, because he was trying to save someone's life. My other friend got Covid during the pandemic, because he was trying to save lives in an emergency department.

My career isn't over, because I broke my hand too many times and I can't lift a 14 inch skillet. I have heat, because I make more than $12.00 an hour. I have health insurance (I'm American).

Yeah, I count myself really lucky.

I am sorry, but that's not how this works. Both software developers _and_ the jobs your described should benefit from better conditions. It would appear that you think that since other have it worse so should tech workers.
