Why don't we just cap every dev at 75k like Europe? Not sure how this argument helps society have the drive to be an outlier and create value.

An absurd argument - 75k over a 20 year career as a dev is only $1.5 million (before living expenses and tax), which is a fraction of the $5 million lower bound in my original comment.
Love to get absurd strawman arguments from the billionaire bootlickers.

"Creating value" only means something if you can eat a spreadsheet.

I find it very hard to believe that there will be no motivation to create value if you can't possess more than $999,999,999.99
