Classic “rich get richer” effect, should be a law saying that it’s as common in society as the normal distribution is in nature

I am not even saying that. As technologists, we have a TON of impact into our own hire ability and incomes. More than people realize.

For example, I looked at the blog author's LinkedIn profile. Regardless of his level, it's not a good profile in terms of presenting his maturity as a technologist and ability to deliver outcomes. Which lowers his odds of being noticed by good recruiters even at his current caliber of dev. To at least some degree, this contributes to the negative experience he is having.

You're essentially arguing for a bimodal distribution which does, in fact, seem to exist to at least some degree in some professions, including law.

It's known as "The Matthew Effect".
