The problem is that performance in software development is not as easily measured as in sales. Software development is a team effort with many soft factors. The result is that people mostly get paid for the amount of years on their CV.

In fact, I am currently reading the book ‘Peopleware’ from 1987 and it’s amazing how many of the principles underpinning the latest software development processes are already described in there.

It’s your turn. You can stop by any time you like.

I think that your theory is not new – it`s quite common in sales. In my opinion it works very well when people are paid performance-related.

Anyway, I just want to say that not all software developers are so smart and self-organized like you, so they need your help as a leader. There is no way for you to get out of this responsibility :)

So please correct my English and be a leader like I showed you in Robert’s hut deep in the Bavarian Forrest – if you can`t remember – it`s better!

Hope to see you soon,

the man who copied your homework a thousand times
