I 100% agree that building an organization purely around financial incentives is not going to be as effective as one that maximizes autonomy, mastery, getting to work on hard problems, and having a purpose. I wish the video had spent a little more time on the part that's directly relevant to your point about how greater rewards make people perform worse.\r\n\r\nAnyway, for the purpose of the conversation, let's just say that that's correct, and giving people more money makes them perform worse as software engineers. I would then ask: what alternate model for allocating compensation would you propose? And do you think that Google's success is in spite of its generous compensation? "}}
