Government often pays more than market price for most jobs. I think his issue was no one wanted to leave Google to go help the government full time, that is why they had the rotations, people were not giving up their interesting jobs to help fix the governments mess.
- watwut 12y agoWorking on a big project where people come in and out too often is a problem in its own right. The simple reality of code being written by too many people who are there only for short time tends to create special kind of mess. It also means that project will tend to repeat the same mistakes again and again. This kind of integration projects tend to be discounted by some as boring and stupid and indeed there is a lot of boring and annoying work to do on them. The thing is, this kind of project also have non-trivial learning curve until you become effective and the more organizational mess there is to overcome the steeper it becomes. There are more red flags then just salary cap on this one.
