This is silly. There is no business incentive create a new labor category that can command high rates. Why would they want to make some programmers much harder

This is silly. There is no business incentive create a new labor category that can command high rates. Why would they want to make some programmers much harder to replace when they can stick with 9-5ers that are constantly replenished with new batches of college grads annually?
- Zak 16y agoBecause it costs less to pay one expert than 30 9-5ers, even if that expert is paid an order of magnitude more. It also provides better results in the form of fewer bugs, better performance and faster changes. Most better tech companies have figured this out already. I expect non-tech companies to figure it out eventually.
