That is indeed us.
Why we have so much wealth is due to broader economic factors. Add up robotics, automation, outsourcing, there really isn't a role for middle class labor anymore. You're either programming the machines or you're working at wal-mart. Which is all kinds of medium-long term concerning once you start wondering what happens when there's no middle class anymore.
If you're programming because you like it (most of us), then you're just lucky to be where we are. I'd still be doing it if it paid crap, it just so happens that it pays extremely well right now. Don't let it go to your head :)
