What would happen if we compensated infrastructure engineers like we paid a top trader, or a pro golfer? Purely based on performance and results:
My company's CI pipeline is frustratingly slow. `git push origin master` to production rollout can routinely take 10 minutes.
We deploy a lot, and that 10 min is a huge tax on productivity and velocity.
What i'm "supposed" to do today:
* Put up a job posting for an infra engineer
* Sift through 100 profiles, interview 10, negotiate, close, start date, etc etc etc and
* maybe in a few weeks/months, I found the right person and my CI pipeline is faster.
What I want
* Let's say mean build time is 600 seconds, and
* Mean time to failed build is 480 seconds.
I'll gladly pay someone $10 for every second of mean build time they can reduce, and $20 for every second of mean failed build time.
So let's say you can get it down MBT=60s and MFBT=30s
I'd gladly pay a talented contractor $14,400 to deliver those results ((600-60)*$10 + (480-30)*20). Probably more. 1 reply
