Yeah, but on the other hand the "we ignore the resume thing" makes it increasingly hard to hire and keep people. Because when tech becomes too much legacy, developers can not afford to stay there. Your employees will be selected for more passive bunch. Or you have to pay more to keep them.

And I do work on project exactly like that. I am paid more then would be market rate for same position and everyone is scared we (as in seniors) are going to leave. It has advantages, not just in pay, definitely. But some of these advantages are disadvantages for the company to be frank ... like that the whole environment gets biased toward more passive and sort of sleepy. (If you are non sleepy you get pay raise, they are trying to reward it, but the force of the system is strong.)

It does not result in the best spend for customer or a company.
