It's not wasteful to pay a decent salary to the people keeping your business afloat.
You can't expect loyalty, full dedication or even enthusiasm if you're paying a SWE less than 6 figures and you're not a non profit.
- solardev 3y agoI don't think the second part (6 figures) has to be true. I've worked with many awesome people (and been perfectly happy myself) for way less than that. And I think that kind of money also starts to encourage people to join the field for the sheer luxury afforded by it, rather than any real passion. That's on top of the other social side effects above. I don't think simply paying everyone more would make the employees, the industry, or society, better overall. It hyperinflates everything downstream and makes cities unlivable and makes jobs become like celebrity sports, competitive performances for personal gain rather than doing anything user or community serving.
