The door doesn't swing both ways though - people don't get a salary cut when supply later exceeds demand. If you wanted a salary system that did respond to job market fluctuations, you'd have to open up to the possibility of getting cut pay.

Getting fired has always existed as a correction mechanism for companies.

If your performance:pay ratio is off and the supply of developers is high, there's nothing stopping them from letting you go.
