And that&#x27;s because demand has exploded. If you look at the technologies available today and, say, 10 years ago, wouldn&#x27;t you say you need much less coders now than then to do the same things? That means one of 2 things can happen in another 10 years: demand keeps exploding, in which case you might be right; demand stabilize, in which case good luck sustaining $100k+ salaries for college kids with &lt;3 years of work experience.<p>There is no inherent more added value in programming than in other professions, it is a pure demand thing. Without demand, things should go back to &quot;normal&quot; with low salaries on the entry level side and high paychecks on the management side (because it&#x27;s more valuable effectively managing 10 resources than 1).
