Why do programmers rarely show off their wealth?

Now is the Internet era, and the number of programmers is slowly increasing. Many people like this industry, and many people learn programming because it is very profitable. So since programmers are very profitable, why do you rarely see them showing off their wealth online? ? Some netizens said this:

Netizen A:

During the years I worked at Google, I met many programmers who joined the company before the IPO. However, none of them show off their wealth, and sometimes they even give people a shabby feeling. For example, my friend C has an employee number of three digits lower and assets in the tens of millions of dollars. This American young man wears all kinds of free cultural shirts with company logos printed on them all year round. Some of the shirts he likes to wear have holes in them. He rents an old 1B1B apartment in Mountain View and drives an ordinary Toyota Prius to work on weekdays. Later, in order to find a boyfriend (he was gay), he moved from Mountain View, a large rural area not suitable for dating, to San Francisco. He even sold his only car because he felt that keeping a car in San Francisco was too expensive and troublesome. It is better to take Caltrain to and from get off work and rent a zipcar for the weekend. After leaving Google, he joined a medical technology startup company. The reason was not to go public and make a fortune, but purely to help them form a team and work hard to improve the backward medical insurance system in the United States.

When you see such people with higher pursuits everywhere around you, you won’t have the face (and capital) to show off your wealth.

Of course, there are also down-to-earth answers that we can accept.

Netizen B:

Programmers are the people who deal with code, commonly known as code farmers. Just like the assembly line workers who came to the city in the 1990s. Workers assemble products according to given needs and styles. Programmers program the software based on project requirements and model diagrams. It's just that the work location has changed from a noisy factory to a quiet office building, and the work content has changed from assembling parts to writing code. From producing physical refrigerators to virtual software such as QQ.

Netizen C:

Programmers work overtime every day. When they get home, of course they fall asleep, or they just watch TV and play games. Such time-consuming actions as showing off their wealth are really Is it suitable for programmers?

Netizen D:

1 The salary of a programmer is not bad, but it should not be so exaggerated that you can show off your wealth. 2 Programmers are basically smart people and generally don’t do anything too stupid. 3. If the programmer's income is really high, he must be affiliated with many companies or take on many external projects. This will cause two problems. (1) He does not have much time to show off his wealth by fighting with others, unless he is joking. (2) Don’t show off in your circle of friends. A lot of information must be kept confidential, otherwise the leaders will have objections. 4 Programmers have to spend time looking for bugs every day, which means they have to think to themselves in front of the computer every day, "What the hell is wrong with me?" Such a self-conscious and self-disciplined species will generally have a better understanding of the world than other practitioners. Correct world outlook and outlook on life.

In fact, the editor also has many friends who are programmers. They may be just like what netizen C described. They just pop up on the Internet occasionally to prove that they are still there.
