It would be really neat if there was some sort of measure of where this line exists at various different corporations so we could figure out if there’s any kind of correlation between the height of the line and the success of the organization. If we think of the line as “skin in the game” vs “collecting a paycheck”, the line is probably much lower at an organization like Google than at e.g. Walmart. For senior programmers, a large portion of their compensation is stock options vs salary.
