Agreed, it’s a very hot take on this website, where everyone’s egos have been inflated to near popping, but I’ve long held that most software jobs are pretty easy.

But the cool thing about software is that it has paid so well despite its relative ease, it’s a well paying field that still secures a middle class life that’s resilient to inflation.

Once that’s gone, a whole lot of people are going to find themselves condemned to dropping an economic class or two.

Yep, it's insane that SWEs working on products like pinterest earn more than engineers working on major infrastructure projects. Honestly without direct government intervention I think market forces will always lead to this outcome.
