That flies in the face of my direct experience working with these people, but sure let's take your assumption at face value. By this logic everyone on salary in any career must be a cheap, dumb slacker, after all there is no difference

I'm not aware of any salary arrangement where they are paying X to get Y amount of work done. Your describing per-project contracting work, and this is plenty common in the software industry. Instead they are paying X dollars to get Y

Sure, but they didn't hire a plumber to fix their bathroom. They hired a plumber to spend 40 hours a week maintaining all the plumbing in a building. If you discover this plumber is only spending 20 hours fixing the most pressing issue

Eh maybe from an efficiency perspective on profit vs labor, of I can get one person to pay me $100 to matchmake for them, then do nothing, I've got an infinite return on my effort, but if I want to make a living doing this I need to ha

NILFS is really, really cool. In concept. Unfortunately the tooling and support just isn't there. I ran it for quite some time on my laptop and the continuous snapshoting is everything I hoped it'd be. At one point however there w

I'm not advocating for a flat pay structure for athletes, but if you think the world class athletes only give it their all because they'll get paid more, you have a pretty distorted view of athletes.
