What do you mean by moved up?
I have more work than I can even do - but I may have a different idea of what a coveted job is.
>That might be the issue, that kind of work is worth more.

"More work than I can do" ---> raise your rates; econ 101.
I recommend the patio11 piece about charging more, should be easy to find at the search box at the bottom of the page.
But as mentioned, at times of slowdown expect a lower upside.
Right now I'm focused on something other than making tons of money tbh. There's a job I covet, so I've been just focusing on maxxing relevant skills so I can join this elite club of extremely cool people working on this very cool thing.
But after that I'm gonna go back to money, for sure.
Btw I love your blog. That same essay "How to be a hacker" is the one I consulted as a teenager, which led me to switch from QBASIC (my first lang, on the recommendation of an IRC channel that was probably trolling me) to Python.
