Next week we will add some PSR interfaces for the HTTP messages to the PHP registration course Why 10x developers are not paid any more Programming productivity cannot be measured like the productivity of a sales person. A sales person can make 10 more sales than their colleges and therefore make 10 times the amount of money. An electrician could work faster and better than another contractor. This would allow them to complete more jobs and charge more than there competitors. Better programmers write less code. Some talented programmers get board and leave their posts.  Talented programmers are difficult to keep. Experience is more important than the lines of code your write. Programmers don’t get rates best on how productive they are.  EG Bug (A) has the same monetary value as bug (B) The best way to get a raise is to start a new position.
