Ten years ago, an oft-repeated quote: “you’re not paid what you’re worth, but for the value you create.”
In light of that, is the argument that performance is institutionally obscured so that devs don’t realize how much leverage they really have? I can see traces of that in seeing shipped products as less the result of one/few devs working hard and more as multiple teams, as you now have two levels of personnel abstraction to diffuse potential leverage (individual/their team, and the teams among themselves).
- rightbyte 2y agoIf you work in an org the share of the success of something that you could claim is really abstract. In some sense the cleaning lady can put claims on "my" success. Most stuff I have done would probably be worthless without the sale people and customer relations in place. Like 0$ value.
