      "How to reward coders with something other than management?" A radical notion, I know, but how about we try experimenting with money.

      I know a lot of devs consider this rather vulgar. Consider who taught you to think that and whether they had your best interests at heart.

      Money can't buy you happiness, but I've experienced having it and not having it, and let me tell you, having it is the better of the two.

          @theHirad I don't recall that line from the movie, but if they said it, then there was a line in the movie I agree with.

          @patio11 100% agree. I like to say that "money is cheap." I'm shocked at how unwilling management often is to simply spread money around.

          @andersthue @patio11 unfortunately, I've seen this used as management's goto book to force contentment, when the devs are actually underpaid
