Poland is the land of good, cheap programmers. We are usually ranked 3rd or 4th on the "best programmers" indexes, behind countries like China, Russia. Foreign companies will pay you like $80k or less for a senior position and get a really skilled worker out of it.
Yet it's still not worth for polish programmers to move literally anywhere - cost of living ratio to the earning is so great that devs don't even move from Poland
Nah, that's bullshit. Cost of living in Poland isn't as low as people abroad think it is. Plenty of people emigrated to GB or Ireland before brexit. Lots of programmers are in Germany and Austria, since they pay so much more. Like, if you go abroad and you get 2x or 3x your salary, no amount of "cost of life" will outweigh that.
