Well, managers and employers don't do anything useful, except paying the bills...

...which for developers that don't like messing with business issues (because only writing code is funny, and "productive"), can be a real godsend!

In other words, the article contains two separate contribution tables: by developer, and by employer.
They are distinct for a good reason: they measure two different things.
But none of them would exist without the other.

And this comes from a developer, who strongly feels that writing code is the real thing, and managing layers are typically mostly useless overhead.
But, if I hadn't Novell paying my bills, I would hardly have the time to contribute anything...

(In case anyone wonders, my tongue was so far in my cheek when I wrote
that that I'm surprised it didn't pop through. :) )
