Preach on, brother. (And generalise the US to "Western
nations".)  Here are two puzzles I'd like to solve:

  1. How can I make myself 20x more productive than an
Indian SE, so our salaries are comparable

  2. Why aren't top SE's paid £300ph (circa $600ph), which
is what a top lawyer would easily charge?  Software is
incredibly valuable, or Microsoft wouldn't be what it is,
so something must be wrong if we can't charge what lawyers
do.

I suspect solving 1 would also solve 2.
