"Get any work done today? No? Well don't worry, you'll find your inspiration!"

Talk about privilege!

From my understanding they pay you well but some places run you ragged and job security is pretty fluid as in it's not uncommon to float from company to company every 1 to 3 years or so.

Given how every town has a dozen coding bootcamps, coding is learned in HS, and learning to code is a big industry in itself the next 10 years or so will be flooded with coders looking for 6 figures.

For the guys that are passable it will be a shitty mundane job that pays the bills (more than minimum wage, as much as skilled labor tho) and the guys that really know their shit will get the big bucks...but that's how it is with everything anyway. If you enjoy it then do it. If you don't then find something else because it's gonna suck.
