yeah, and he sounds like he has a really interesting way of dealing with it.
Now, people might disagree on what level you happen to be at technically... but still it seems like you are saving an incredible amount of time and effort by moving the decision to simply "how good are they" and then making the money decision after that solves a whole lot of problems.

Steve McConnell (or more accurately, I suppose, Construx) with the Professional Development Ladder (http://construx.com/Page.aspx?nid=244 http://construx.com/Page.aspx?nid=244) was an early advocate for this idea, and Spolsky has discussed it a couple of times as well. Cash has limited motivational power, but it's akin to the physiological layer on the hierarchy of needs. If you're getting a shitty salary it's harder to give a damn about the success of the product or company. That being said, also brilliant is the idea mentioned to let people exchange one or more tiers of compensation for stock if they so chose.
