Computer programming is a high status, low wage job? I'm not sure about the "high status" part, and I'm even less sure about the "low wage" part. It pays pretty well, even if you're not at a FAANG.

It's somewhat the opposite in fact (not exactly low status, but not on the forefront of a cool job either). It's the wordcel vs shape rotater meme/discourse.

It's def a low-mid status but high paying job. Nobody cares, they just say "wow you must be smart" and that's it.
