Based on https://www.payscale.com/research/US/Job=Software_Engineer/Salary https://www.payscale.com/research/US/Job=Software_Engineer/S..., while the average income for a software engineer is pretty good, the low end of their reported scale is 63k/yr. Personally, my first salaried job as a software engineer paid 40k. I can attest that I was not able to save much money on that income after expenses like rent, food, and gas. I think it is unreasonable to assume that racial disparities in wealth will vanish just because someone writes code.
