Almost everyone ITC is focusing on the developers' attitudes and whether they are "entitled" etc., but it seems to me the article was just as much (more?) about the impact that such salaries have on the companies. The author isn't so much arguing that it's "not fair" so much as "it's short-sighted on behalf of the employers," at least how I read it. The developers' attitudes are relevant only insofar as they influence their actions in this case. If it's making it difficult for companies to hold on to talent, that's a big deal. If it's causing developers to grumble on IRC, not so much.
