Engineers who can also sell things are a goldmine. Rare as anything though I find.
And even with diamonds, the ones who dig it out of the ground and even the ones who polish them get paid less than those who find ways to sell them. This is capitalism - the value paid at market is often unrelated to the reality of the situation.
@Daragh, what you said is totally true. I worked for a startup in the beginning of my career, created a web application for blog posting, which was a huge success, then guess what! the SEO analyst(marketing guy) earned 2% of the profit from the product, when I demanded at 1% of profit, I was told that anyone can code what you did but not every one can sell what you have coded. Hence he was paid more than I did.

We're a place where coders share, stay up-to-date and grow their careers.

The diamond analogy does not go that far.
Software developers do not dig out diamonds. Anybody can dig out diamonds. Developers make diamonds mostly out of thin air.
