I'd say most people use this definition, with the caveat that there's no official "average programmer", and everyone has different standards.
- pron 9mo agoRight, but if we assume that programmers' compensation is statistically correlated with their skill, then we can drop "average" and just talk about budget.
- Avicebron 9mo agoThat seems like a wild assumption to make.
- gf000 9mo agoStatistically? I don't think it's that wild. If you prefer it, salaries correlate with years of experience, and the latter surely correlates with skills, right? (No, this doesn't mean that every 10 years XP dev is better than a 3 years XP one, but it's definitely a strong correlation)
