How about a 50% salary cut for a marginal improvement? Just curious at what point you care more about your own well being versus the well being of others.

It would actually be the opposite effect. If I found a way to cut developer costs in half I would become fabulously wealthy, not poor.

Why wouldn't someone want to both become rich by putting devs out of a job and making the world better?

Maybe due to misplaced loyalty, and so as to screw over the rest of society To Help a small rich group?
