I am one of these Great Devs. Joel is correct that i will probably only apply to 4 jobs in my career. But the author is also correct and I am not sticky. I have switched jobs several times over the past 10 years. Companies will try to keep great people, but when you tell them you need a 40% raise, they will pass. I think Joel and the author understand this and actually agree.

Working with you must be a joy.

The worst devs I've worked with are those that proclaimed themselves great. Some could sling code well, others were hopeless but they all were toxic for the team.
