It's still worth a lot to be good at systems programming. Outside of the HN bubble there are plenty of companies willing to pay extremely well for people who can do systems programming, particularly under high performance constraints.

All of those places will pay just as much for (as well as hire far more of) enterprise Java/Go/HTML/JS code monkeys There's nothing wrong with that, but picking 5 companies with their hands in damn-near anything is disingenuous.

Is your goal to be paid extremely well for doing systems programming relative to other people in the same company? Or to be paid extremely well for doing systems programming?

So it's less about getting paid for your work and more about a dick measuring contest with your coworkers.

I think that's your issue.
