It's shocking to me that I had to read a whole blog post and scroll through 50+ comments on HN to find someone who understood how salaries work. Well said.
I feel like this entire discussion can be summed up in four sentences: "Feel like you're not making enough? Find another company that will pay you more. No one will pay you more? Keep adding skills until they do."
Everything else is just window dressing for the negotiating table.
