The real value (purchasing power) of the money went down in recent decades.

So if nominally 1.6 million looks big in 1980's terms, nowadays it is not so much. Therefore, if you as a dev are getting 160k, then you are unfairly underpaid.

It's pretty big in 2022 terms. One 1,300 sq ft Bay Area ranch house per year.
Is this the best you can do?
The author is lying to get attention: only few are paid so much. Besides, the article looks like an unhinged stream of consciousness generated by GPT.

Despite its appearance, it wasn't actually generated by GPT. I put a lot of work into this. Based on your comment history, I think you might actually come to agree with me.

If you have the time, you are welcome to read it.

You're welcome to propose to change it.

Once the internet takes over, my powers will be gone. There's no way that I could maintain control versus the combined intellect of 7 billion people.
