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.
