Why 10x developers are not paid any more
- Programming productivity cannot be measured like the productivity of a sales person.
- A sales person can make 10 more sales than their colleges and therefore make 10 times the amount of money.
- An electrician could work faster and better than another contractor. This would allow them to complete more jobs and charge more than there competitors.
- Better programmers write less code.
- Some talented programmers get board and leave their posts.
- Talented programmers are difficult to keep.
- Experience is more important than the lines of code your write.
- Programmers don’t get rates best on how productive they are. EG Bug (A) has the same monetary value as bug (B)
- The best way to get a raise is to start a new position.
