If companies wanted efficiency, they coould probably spend $400k to 10 engineers and get the best of all worlds. That's going to be cheaper than hiring a team of 50 @100k of varying quality.

Except when the engineer leaves for a $500k postion. Companies basically moved towards this churn market in a way not as far off from an assembly line as you'd expect. They prefer some inefficiency if the cogs are easier to replace every 1-2 years.
