Makes sense, but can you think of an example about how a software developer would benefit for being a commodity worker?



Do you really see that as a risk?

If it happens, do you think it's realistic that it would happen in some countries but not others?


Its already happened in my country. Web developers are hired on minimum wage.


I know a bunch of people in the UK doing web stuff, and none of them are making minimum wage. Far from it.


Junior web development positions outside of London can easily pay 15,000 - 17,000 GBP. This is really low.

Wages for developers on the whole in the UK are far lower than the US.


Depends on location, and seniority.
