It's always interesting to think about how someone somewhere is earning as much as you earn in a decade or lifetime in a single year. Also that you are that person for someone else.

What I find more interesting is this:

A sole proprietor landscaper making $45-50K a year in California is paying $675 a year in annual registration fees just to keep his newish pickup truck on the road. Why newish? Because the people he's servicing trust a guy with a nicer work vehicle than a beaten down 30 year old Tacoma.

A $900k developer with the same pickup is also paying $675 a year.

Extrapolate this seemingly trivial example across literally EVERYTHING in life.

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.
