Very interesting methodology, but the sample size (16) is way too low. Would love to see this repeated with more participants.

They paid the developers about $75k in total to do this so I wouldn't hold your breath!

That's a lot of money for many of us. Do you know those folks were in a HCOL area?

No idea. They don't say who they were; just random popular GitHub projects.

To be clear it wasn't $75k each.
