If you can really find someone who truly provides twice the results of
a $75k developer (good luck), then it's even better. The HR overhead
of an employee is an important factor to consider. A $75k-salaried
employee may be costing the company $150k/yr in total, so two
$75k-salaried would cost the company $300k/yr. A single $150k-salaried
employee would cost the company $225k/yr.
