Interesting that you and another responder upthread both want to measure salary worthiness against (degree to which the role is) "making society better". I wasn't making a broader statement about what society _should_value, rather a more direct observation that software developers typically generate more value than they receive in compensation, from the perspective of their employers' balance sheets. I've worked at companies where engineering generated over $5m ARR per developer. None of us saw even 10% of that. In software companies, execs are typically overpaid, and tech talent is underpaid.
