Indeed, because the only things worth building are things you could give to a junior dev with little oversight.

That's why programming salaries are so low and why nobody stays in the field after a couple years - it's too hard to make a living when you have to compete with people fresh out of training bootcamps.

Lol, where you live/work? Almost everywhere you get paid more as a software developer than as a nurse (just one example), and the difference of impact on your health/sanity from both roles is huge.

I think people who never worked in anything else than software don't know how easy they have it.

They are being sarcastic.
I took their comments as sarcasm, fwiw.
