I have a fairly lateral opinion on this, which is the idea of management is necessarily Tayloristic, and the factory model doesn't apply to software. Therefore we shouldn't manage our coders, but we should work to foster leaders and force multipliers. One's organization should determine fair methods of assessing folks skills as leaders, force multipliers, and technical experts. All of these traits should be compensated (we do a terrible job of both assessing and compensating emotional labor in particular.) It's possible that a person with strong technical expertise and weak leadership could be more well compensated than a strong leader weak in technical expertise, but it's less than ideal.

I agree with you in theory but I don't think the foundational ideal state of the world required to pull it off exists yet.
