> The struggle was never to learn programming syntax (most grammar are only a few page long)

I see this as HN bubble. For many on here it wasn’t a struggle, but for most people I think it is. Hence the SWE salaries.

I don't think the education barrier fully accounts for SWE salaries. It takes a particular disposition and other hard things, learned over years of doing, to actually keep do software engineering as a career.

AI changes the dispositions and difficulties, but it still favors a narrow selection of people to do the (still) difficult task of software engineering with agents.
