I mean, yes the worlds most pre-eminent software developer culture demands high prices.

What about the 98% (fake statistic) of American software developers who do not live in or around San Francisco ...?

Even they aren't paid that highly. Most of them make chump change compared to a world class lawyer or a doctor.

I guess we can thank Steve Jobs for that.
