I guess you'll have to take my word for it that I'm not talking about the obviously silly ways of making developers accountable (like LOC or tickets closed.) I'm a developer, so I know that typically managers who don't know how to code shouldn't be managing coders.

What I'm talking about is developers who demand above market wages, and shorter hours (than lawyers, or doctors, or automotive engineers etc.) and less commitment, and more equity. There are a lot of these guys out there, and a lot of people on here who think like that. I'm saying that's a childish, entitled attitude that ignores the reality of starting and building a company. Sometimes you can't have it all.
