I make about $20 USD an hour doing low-level work writing performant C and x86 assembly at my current job.

Granted, it's not my only source of income, but what is the average pay/hour for most devs?

Check out Glassdoor.com.

For those skills as a mid-tier seniority developer, not in Silicon Valley in the land of make-believe? Probably like $85k-110k.

If you live in SV it might be like $210k or something absurd.

So, about $50 an hour for non-SV developers?

Plus benefits. A contractor or consultant will charge more.

210k is what you’d get as a junior though

Even FAANG in SV doesn't pay juniors over 200k in total compensation.
