It's very difficult to "own" "programming" in a way where you can use scarcity to drive integer multiple increases of the median salary. It is not as difficult to "own" distributed systems, sensor fusion, software security, or OS kernels.
Not true, anyone can use scarcity to increase there median salary. After reading about Chip manufacturers and how hardware is becoming less open source, I'm kind of glad to know which one's will rock on with things like OpenBSD on the PowerPC - there's a lot of those old Mac PowerPC's still knocking around with an open firmware bootloader! :)
