I'd like to solve the use case where a dev in Oklahoma makes $80k or a dev in Texas makes just above six figures while doing the same work. Maybe that helps clarify the problem. I can't accept that the delta is just for COLA and commute to work.
> I’ve had to deal with both before and it’s always bad. I’d be cool with remote teams but I pray we don’t have to mix. It’s such a huge drain to accommodate both styles in one team.
It works okay, as long as you don't have any grossly strong personalities on your team.
- dilyevsky 6y agoAccording to realtor.com median house price in OC is fifth of that in the bay so that sounds like a good deal (if you like living there).
- kodah 6y agoThat sounds like a fantastic argument until you realize that this thinking allows Silicon Valley developers to move widely while a dev that retires in Oklahoma can go very few places, if anywhere, due to the delta.

I can't accept that the delta is just for COLA and commute to work. The delta is because $80k is the best option an OK resident has (or the best option the person selling money thinks the OK resident has, and same for TX resident at $100k. If the OK resident accepts $80k, then this shows the person selling money was correct. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Supply_and_demand https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Supply_and_demand Employers are selling money, employees are selling labor, if they agree to a price then both parties have agreed to what they think their best option is at that time.
