I am asking who gets 1k/day, not saying it's React.

These are React guys. What kind of specialization are you thinking of?

That salary is still 2x-5x the average.

I have colleagues from Prague making around $100k after taxes. They're contractors, though.

They could simply move. It's what normal people had to do because these overpaid engineers outpriced them.

Well to be honest 1/10 was a little bit of overstatement, but yeah every year there's a governmental report about how this country is missing 150k programmers so it's about 1/8 or so.

Let me shed a tear for these massively overpaid engineers who will now have to make only measly 2-3x of the average wage

In the small central EU country where I live, that wouldn't even saturate the open programmer positions - just about 1/10 of it. I'd be very surprised if it saturated the US market in any measurable way.

If anything this just means these people will be working on more different products, and that means more opportunities for even more programmers in the future.
