I think this is true regarding truckers, as there seems to be many people who can drive trucks but choose not to. If they got paid more, they would drive (the author suggests, and I agree).
But is it true for programmers? Are there many people who can code but choose not to, but would if the pay was higher? That seems less likely.

Which may not be entirely unreasonable, given the economics and how it's structured. It may be a decent alternative to the military for some. But it's not at all the same as being hired and trained on the job as a part of your work, as many jobs used to be and a few somewhat still are.
