How would higher salaries make coding more productive? That seems to be an unwarranted assumption.
Developer productivity and project management is a large field. I sometimes feel that programmers, especially the idealistic ones, tend to overestimate their own performance, and underestimate the problems of project management.
- thejdude 12y agoIt's definitely a large field, and management is hard in its own way. The way to measure developer performance is easy though: you have to look back instead of forward, then you see what people get (or rather: got) done. Sure, if you're an idealist and aren't used to estimation, you tend to underestimate the effort for a given feature or bug.
