No because programming is more than typing and more than grinding out code. It requires understanding business and creating solutions which satisfy customer needs which requires understanding of the culture. You aren’t going to get that with some remote hands code monkey.
That's just how capitalism works. If an employer can profitably exploit workers then they will do so without any hesitation. Otherwise, it is impossible to generate profits.<p>Capitalism persists because no one really cares if instead of an employer paying you $180k a year you were getting paid $10k and doing the same amount of work. The ideal type of market for capitalism is basically global because then everything can be bought and sold at the global market price which is supposed to be the best price possible.<p>So if programming is really worth $10k in some part of the world then it would be foolish for someone not to take advantage of that and then take the difference in arbitrage as profits. This would all be better in a global technocratic panopticon very much like the large scale version of the panoptic computronium cathedral. The real endpoint of capitalism is the panoptic global computroniom cathedral as the best type of market clearing house for all "products".
