Badly.


Yeah but I mean, what is their compensation based on? I'm genuinely pretty curious about the point you're making here. I don't know anything about underwriting or how that profession works or how it is analogous to what you see as the future for software developers. But it seems interesting and possibly insightful.

I didn't really make that point, so I have no opinion on that.

It's mostly just size of organisation and size of their book (the losses they are responsible for).

Like, all the risk is on the downside so they (AFAIK) don't tend to get huge bonuses for good performance.
