I think Zed Shaw nailed it with respect to this topic: "People who can code in the world of technology companies are a dime a dozen and get no respect. People who can code in biology, medicine, government, sociology, physics, history, and mathematics are respected and can do amazing things to advance those disciplines." Tech doesn't value code because everyone knows it. There are tons of fields where your skills are still treated with Godlike reverence.
