#define PROGRAMMER A friend of mine works only with html and client-side js. Another only with Java. I currently work product but have worked with a whole host of languages. Another friend of mine is an infrastructure engineer. Another is a lawyer who codes. We are all “programmers.” There is a lot to be said about why ”programmers” are well compensated, but let’s first discuss what it is that is being said. What is the specific anxiety being voiced about what group? I’m assuming it’s software engineers. But then what is “well compensated”? I can’t reply to the author because of how vague it is, but, in summary - you should always plan for lower pay regardless of industry, but as long as you provide increasing value to a business, and are much better at it than other people, you will not see lower pay.
