And you are OK with colleagues who are inferior programmers but better negotiators getting paid more than you?

I mean that’s business. Are you ok with superior products being priced less than expensive inferior ones?

I usually have no idea what superior and inferior are. A $50 Casio watch is a better timekeeper than a $20,000 Rolex, but it's not really superior is it?

Depends. Are we apples to apples doing the same things and our work is bringing value only through programming, but I don’t like confrontation? Then no. It can of course be that the better negotiator is also a better communicator and acts as some type of team adhesive and then it is a different story.

Have you ever seen two programmers who have exactly the same skills?
