This industry is a race to the bottom and long overdue for a massive salary reset. There is no society on Earth where someone who codes JavaScript (poorly) should make more money than, say, a doctor. Yet here we are.
A lot of doctors are just pill prescribers. I can't tell you how many times I've been to useless doctors that don't help and give you a big fat bill on the way out the door.
>The median salary for a urologist in the United States is approximately $590,000 per year as of March 2026. Most urologists earn between $550,000 and $630,000 annually.
Yet they're all expendable because their chosen skills are not essential for society to survive. They could all disappear tomorrow and the web and everything around it would move on.
