The median software developer in the US makes $85,000/year. I guess you could call this modest, but I wouldn't. It's 50% more than median US household makes.
>If you want power, and I've said this many times -- rather than learn to code -- first learn to run a server. That's real power.
I'm really struggling with this one. That would seem to make you less rich and powerful than a programmer.

The joke here is that we do it for the love, because the day we want money then is better to sell "empanadas" (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Empanada https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Empanada). Even if is a very good developer. Also, here we become "full-stack" just because that is what is need to survive..
