Well, it'd also represent a raise for about 50% of programmers in 2022.
[EDIT] Further:
"The lowest 10 percent earned less than $54,310, and the highest 10 percent earned more than $157,690." (in 2022, still).
The ones who can retire in 20 years are making (ballpark) top-5%-of-field wages most or all of that time.
[EDIT EDIT] I didn't pick the best category for this, but the numbers only skew up 25ish % for the most-relevant one. Not a single BLS computer job category has a median particularly close to "retire in 20 years at this income" money. FAANG, finance, and a small segment of the startup market that's in that same category—yeah. Almost all the rest? No.
