Are they the best in the world?
Why are American programmers so highly paid?

They need it because getting checked for the flu costs 10k US dollars plus tip
Logan Ward
Because they pay $100,000k a year in housing costs at 55 years of age along with $50k for healthcare.
Chase Cruz
Because taxes in California might as well be 50%, on top of the insanely high cost of living in areas like Silicon Valley
Matthew Bennett
Because they are ass raped by pedo uncle sam every day.
Thomas Sullivan
Why did they change it to $350K from $750K? Did someone get triggered and shoop it to make it lower?
Adam Thomas
big hype in "machine learning", we're basically at the peak now, in a few years its going to die down when no product sells

Because otherwise they wouldn't have money to rent a cardboard in San Francisco and would just become regular hobos

Free market.
Big employers need to best people, so they'll compete on salaries, offerming more than each other so they'll be the one to snag a great employee instead of their competition.
Sometimes even if they don't have an immediate need for the person, just to deny their competitor access to a resource.
It's also why these very same companies are *heavily* invested in programming courses in schools and promoting the idea of programming for everyone, since that increases the talent pool and a bigger talent pool means more people competing for a limited pool of jubs, thus in the long run they can lower wages.
