For $500k, a company could hire three excellent engineers. I don't care how good an engineer is, he won't be doing the work of two people, let alone three, especially in things like UI design/programming which is 95% grunt work. The reason FB and other big companies' products are the quality they are isn't because they have geniuses working for them. It's simply because they have thousands of workers and therefore can concentrate on all the most minute details and follow all the byzantine paths that regular companies simply do not have the manpower to do. The author thinks he can find someone to pay $500k and this person will outperform multiple teams of dozens, hundreds, or even thousands of people. That's delusional and a horrible way to "lead" a company. Damn right he won't be hiring anyone with that $500k. Such a human being does not exist. Not at FB, not anywhere.
