What? Developers are definitely not underpaid, I earn more than twice what a social worker gets after taxes.
Invisible is also very dubious, if I tell people I'm a developer, everyone assumes I'm a rich genius who's building cool stuff.
The true heroes of our industry are the admins. If they're doing everything right, nobody notices they exist, but if they do only a single thing wrong or some software has a bug they aren't even responsible for, they'll get the blame first.
Where do you live? I live in Singapore and am definitely underpaid. Companies hire the cheaper workers from other Asian countries.
In the US developers, especially those that move into management can make a small fortune. Starting salaries are around where many careers peak with a comfortable living salary and the sky is the limit on how much a dev can make
Germany, we have no workers to hire.
