I don't think this has anything to do with degree vs no degree. I see software engineers without degrees being paid just as well. I think it's just an incredible demand for software devs from companies with ridoculous amounts of money pushing up salaries.

Note that this is where it becomes clear that wealth inequality is important. If a few organisations have outsized amounts of wealth then it pushes up prices for everyone.

Ah yes, ridiculous salaries enabling ridiculous extravagances like getting your own tiny apartment before 40.

The most wildly overpaid Silicon Valley engineers have the purchasing power of entry-level accountants anywhere else in the country.
