And yet somehow, software developers are doing something that's worth paying them a salary. And it's not always impossible to tell if someone's being held back at a lower salary band than they should be, or was promoted into a salary band that's higher than they're able to keep up with.

Yeah, these complaints are always so duplicitous. Somehow, it’s impossible to measure programmer productivity when it’s time for accountability or professional standards, but not when it’s time to assign annual bonuses.

Yep it’s just nonsense. If it’s hard to define or measure I guess it doesn’t exist?
