He said he felt like a janitor, next guy said he demeaned others as janitors, and now you are saying he demeaned janitors. There is a level of gymnastics going on.

First paragraph:

> The common factor in most of my decisions to look for a new job has been realizing that I feel like a very highly compensated janitor instead of a developer.

So for that person, feeling like a janitor is incentive for seeking a new job. It's that simple really.

That doesn't mean he is demeaning janitors, just that he doesn't want to be one. There are loads of reasons to not want to be a "code janitor" besides looking down at janitors.

I'm not a gymnast, but comparing people comparing their work to janitors and calling it gymnastics demeans gymnasts.
