Craftsmen's compensation is a non negotiable matter IMHO.
It's not someone's fault if they happen to live in a particular economic climate.
The real root cause isn't the engineering or infrastructure cost.
It is about people paying their fair share myself included.
I'd never advocate for unfair compensation. Only that what's fair is highly variable when the world is your potential labor pool. A lot of people and companies think or behave like only a few areas of the world produce quality software. It's absolutely false. I'd also want to question if a company full of Master Craftsmen are needed (if that's what's implied by the $380k/employee). To keep with the construction metaphor, most labor on a typical construction site is Craftsmen supervising unskilled/lower skilled labor; otherwise cost would be a major issue (more than it is already).
