It doesn't get much better IRL, these are people making 6 figures in their 20s getting hailed as intelligent professionals on the level of doctors and engineers without any of the years of rigorous practice. The average person in tech is living in a completely different reality to the average worker.
It's like you've just walked into the RL equivalent of a SlateStarCodex thread. Can't chat with those types without going home and scrubbing harder than Lady Macbeth.

Software developers don’t realize they are blue collar workers and will be crushed underboot as soon as their jobs can be automated by AI or whatever.
“Why don’t you just learn to code?”
wages plummet as the qualified labor force expands faster than the job market
“No not like that!”
But mostly only in the imperial core and also there are fewer and fewer opportunities. The time of blue markets is getting more and more over.
