alt Hacker News> completely obsessed with replacing all developers
I’m paid about 16x an electronics engineer. Salaries in IT are completely unrelated to the person’s effort compared to other white collar jobs. It would take an entire career to some manager to reach what I made after 5 years. I may be 140IQ but I’m also a dumbass in social terms!

The median wage for programmers is about 5x the average minimum wage. You're paid significantly higher than the average programmer.

Jealousy is absolutely a thing.

That's cool. It sounds like most of us aren't making what you make. I don't make 16x what someone paid minimum wage makes, much less an electrical engineer.
