What about the people who went to Stanford, and have all the right and necessary chops, but are doing more lucrative work outside of development? The Valley especially has many, many examples of these people. Part of the perceived charm of the valley is that you can make crazy amounts of money, which a day job as a developer does not provide (It's a decent living, but not crazy money). You don't believe there is ever a monetary point that you could convince them that development is a better deal than what they are currently doing? You don't think $1M, $100M, $1B wouldn't temp them in the least?
