Yeah, but you get to make it without hugely-out-of-your-control health complications. Developers can get fat eating a lot of pizza, but they can run it off. Harder for a miner to avoid all the hazards with the job. As much as I hate the open workspace, I also would prefer being at a computer than doing manual labor in a claustrophobic mine.

Mining companies operate on leased land with leased equipment backed by institutional investors... they keep it lean. The contemporary mine operator isn't totally dissimilar to the CEO/founder of a largish startup in how they approach their business. Yeah, of course writing code won't give you black lung, but you're still working for the man. The coal mine machine operator is a lot more like me than I am like Jack Dorsey.
