Pay them minimum wage and then give raises until the value they deliver to the business is met. Modern engineering strives to make programmers cogs via automation, doc and testing, so hire another random dev to work on your systems sometimes to validate the work of the first.
- RyanShook 8y agoI think this is sarcastic but also maybe a little bit true?
- TheFullStack 8y agoThere is nothing true about it. Try hiring devs at min wage and report back what happens...
- afarrell 8y agoHow on earth does automation, docs, and testing turn programmers into cogs? Automation is removing the repetative work that a cog would do. Docs and testing allow you to take on work of greater scope by being more sure of yourself and what your coworkers have built.
