Every employment is in the benefit of the employer. They pay you money because you make them money. They aren't going to pay you 100k a year if they could fire you and only lose 50k in profit. You make them at least 100k a year. Also, not all coders are paid 65k a year out of college like this guy. I personally know coders only making 45-50k a year.

- username90 7y agoBasically everything? The reason most jobs are so hard to automate is the lack of dependencies having API's you can work against. If we had a billion engineers they could automate probably 90% of white collar jobs we have today simply by throwing human brute brain force at all edge cases. And you know, doing all that labor would definitely be worth it even though it sounds like a waste. That is why software engineers are paid well, and why they will continue to be paid well for a long time forward.
