    I think you are undervaluing a lot of work non-IT people do. I can work as an engineer doing almost the exact same thing as an analyst or programmer but not get paid the same amount. I can be a program manager that needs to adapt to a variety of situations where I have to make critical company facing decisions but I wont be paid like a programmer.

    However, you are right that devs are treated like princesses because of their leverage. All i was asking was in a world where IT is conpetitive and less of value, would it make sense to pay them less if there is less expectation. It feels weird because you dont see that in almost any other field.

    What if I told you that you are already being paid 50% increase and you only have the option to slow down or find a new job?

    Can you imagine a home inspector paid more for inspecting faster or a fireman paid more for putting out a fire faster. For some reason you can see a programmer being paid more for spending less time playing TF2 on the job.
