The most productive programmers orders of magnitude more productive than average programmers. But salaries usually fall within a fairly small range in any company. Even across the entire profession, salaries don’t vary that much. If some programmers are 10x more productive than others, why aren’t they paid 10x as much?

But this isn't just a problem in the programming industry. It's a big problem in all the technical fields.

Why does the nonsense about super-productive uber-programmers never stop?
RawThinkTank replied ago:
Because everything is standing on their shoulders while others eat for free.
