Your acting just like the old factory worker who's pissed that his profession is starting to become more automated. Wake up and smell the coffee, developers are getting more productive and you have to adapt to the decreasing demand that this will cause. Programming is job in the labor market just like a fast food cooker. If you want to make some more money, either learn some skills that most other people do not have and that are needed (low supply, high demand), or start a company so that you can make some profits (which technically have no limit).

BTW, I think you need to look at the salaries of some other professions. I'm gonna be making 6 figures out of college as an SDE, while most of my engineering and business friends are going to be making about half of that. Talk to non engineering/business majors (cough, communication majors, cough) and the pay gets even worse.
