I'm an experienced software developer -- nearly 30 years.
I keep up to date on new stuff, have contributed to open source, always willing to try new things. And I'm good, if I say so myself.
I've been on a few interviews in the past couple years where either the (internal) recruiter or the hiring manager have told me about the corporate need for salary parity between workers at the same level doing similar work.
I call bullshit. Everyone needs to look out for their own best interests. Everyone negotiates. Hiring time is perhaps your best, if not only time to negotiate for what you want. Your fellow employees should never (as in never, ever, ever) find out what anyone else earns -- it's none of their business. That's strictly between you and HR and your manager.
For years people have been writing about the inherent unfairness of CEOs who earn 100x what everyone else in the company makes. And yet nothing has changed. Why the f*ck should I care if it's "unfair" that I make 20% more than the guy sitting in the cubicle next to me when the guy in the corner office makes 1000% more than either of us. I got what I negotiated for -- that's the definition of what's fair.

yeah, rooms are nefarious carriers of Malaria plasmodium.
I presume that most people who aren't grammar pedants knew from the context that it was the mosquitoes that may or may not have had plasmodium.
As opposed to releasing mosquitoes into a room that may or may not have carried the Malaria plasmodium?
10 trillion flies eat feces -- that doesn't make feces good. 100 million people admire Bill Gates? Meh.
...it's an easy puzzle to solve....
I presumed that the point was to activate the part of your brain that does things with numbers.
It's not so much that it needs to be an easy or hard puzzle to solve, just doing things with numbers---
Or has that been debunked now?
