I came across this after reading an ESPN article about NFL bonuses: ( http://www.espn.com/blog/nflnation/post/_/id/262951/nfl-play... ), and thinking "Why can't engineers get paid like this?" ( e.g., why don't I get a $100k bonus for delivering 500 pivotal points? ). That question lead to googling for "Software engineer bonuses" and that lead to https://softwareengineering.stackexchange.com/questions/5743..., which lead me to this video. Discuss.
