On: Ask HN - Review My Idea: Make Work More Like Games

[csomar]

I don't think this will work in the tech world. Don't you think developers will try to game the system just to make more points?

Joel already discussed this kind of renumeration, he gave an example of bugs. If you pay your developers more money if they produce bug-free code, they won't report bugs and it'll result in a worse result.

Point taken. But the market of lowly routine workers is much bigger anyway, right? :)
