curious as to why

most top swe comp comes from equity in the company, which benefits from productivity

not only that but the leveraged nature of swe means top performers are in perpetual shortage and low performers contribute negative productivity

anecdotally weve seen comp rise as the best candidates have multiple competing offers as well as the freedom to start their own business

Because companies can hire one great Dev for $300k instead of 5 mediocre ones for $150k each and get better results.

That supports my point right?

Top devs make more than before

Yes. I agreed with your point.
