I've personally never heard of any company doubling a developer's salary like that. Have you?

Double, no. But I had a company that gave me a 30-40$ increase one year because it was obvious I was performing at that level.
Then a couple years later they were giving me basically no raise. When I told them I thought I was worth more, they asked me if I could "wait a year".
I got a new job and a huge raise compared to the last one. (Again, 30-40%.)
So while it's possible, it's not always even reliable at the same company that has done it in the past.
