it is vanishingly rare to find a star programmer of Per's or Val's caliber paid more than three times as much as an ordinary programmer. That's because it's directly against standard accepted management theory to accept that workers are anything but interchangeable cogs.

1000x Posted Aug 7, 2008 21:26 UTC (Thu) by nix (subscriber, #2304) [Link] By extension, if a programmer should implement something requiring algorithms more complex than can be explained in three lines of crude pseudocode, such that a random monkey pulled off the street can't understand them in five minutes, it's the fault of the person who implemented that algorithm. (I get this all the time. I ignore it. The proposed replacement algorithms, if any are provided, are invariably brittle, slow, and don't work.)
