How to reward skilled coders with something other than people management
Err... Money???<p>Most people will (rightfully) settle for money. Because people need love, and to demonstrate love you need to show that you care, that you're willing to give something up in a hard situation. And the only thing a company cares for is money. So, I want said company to give me money. More money than the 'manager'. Because I can do their job just as badly as they are doing it, but they can't do mine at all.<p>I don't want your stupid titles and shit - those are cheap. Cash is what will hurt you. Pay up if you care!<p>And when people realise they have to pay you or lose you, then you get respect. Priceless!!!
