> even in the wealthiest countries, average programmer salaries are about 10% higher than the national salary at best
I'm not sure 'even' is the right word here. The gap between developer and median salaries goes down the richer the country is. e.g. in many Eastern European countries the average salary for a software developer can be up to 2x or more higher than the national average.
