Right. If it's not about money, just issue me blank checks every month.
Remember, labor is just another thing we buy and sell.
In other markets, like those for cars, there are specialists that focus on naming fixed, non-negotiable prices. What buffer is doing seems pretty similar.
Like I said, the market has lots of options for devs. I don't know if they're $50k off...when I said not all devs care about salary, I'm talking about the last 10%. I don't know anybody who ignores $50k.

When you're netting $20k a year into your 401k, mortgage, principal, and long term savings, $10k is a lot of money.
Leaving $50k/year on the table at age 30 will move your retirement date back ten years. It takes a lot of culture to make up for that.
