Apologies for sounding naive, but is not fair to get paid for your efforts.? If not Zhiang Zemin and Chinese polit bureaux would really like to hire you...that part of the world is Mecca for this sort of thing. I don't mind paying £100 for a developers application. However I realize that's wishful thinking, I do agree that like pop and movie stars some developer's incomes are disproportionate. As long as we are prepared to tame the beast of capitalism and market forces there should be no reason why we can't have fair recognition of ones labour. Human worth over profits. ( note my avoidance of the term HR, the latter has come to mean different beast altogether ).
