This change has been discussed as an unfortunate legislative oversight, something that both parties want to fix but, by gosh, Congress just can’t seem to figure out how to get it on their busy agenda. However, from my perspective, I see this as a clever way to depress developer salaries which have risen in recent years. This tax change makes small companies and startups much less viable, so there will be fewer places for developers to work. As others have noted, it will also alleviate competitive pressure faced by the entrenched players. Given these lobbyist-friendly “side effects”, I wonder if we will ever see this trash taken out.
