I find it more interesting that the sole proprietor landscaper doesn’t just become a developer and make $900k a year.

Extrapolate this to literally anyone making less than a developer.

Those skill sets aren't interchangeable.

  • There is very low barrier to entry for being a developer. The only thing separating an unskilled individual and a developer is learning time.

    • People have different thresholds and capabilities. IME even if they could grind through the learning curves most don't have the desire or logical reasoning skills to be even mediocre programmers. Keep in mind too that it's still culturally uncool, despite a few bubbles of nerd hype.
