Sounds literally like every other white collar job, or in fact ideally any job ever. I agree with OP, we devs are sometimes a bit too full of ourselves, when in fact mostly we have simply just another engineering work. I used to think that way too when I was young, naive and inexperienced.
My wife is a doctor, and when I compare, we have it too easy considering our compensation. When was the last time your bug killed a human being / destroyed their health for good? When was the last time when you got dragged into court for a bug you submitted 3 years ago and jail with permanent loss of license was a real option? Getting 25$ for 12-hour weekend nightshift?
Instead we have remote work, digital nomads and people humble-bragging about 400k FAANG compensations being at the low end and barely livable.
