Quote:
A developer has a set time budget that is fixed.


I disagree with that statement, mainly because the time budget is actually dependent on other things, such as the feature set, the skill and number of developers + non-developers required for various things (management, infrastructure setup and maintenance, data conversion, testing, whatever) that affect the "Gantt chart" of the project.

Rarely have I experienced a project that is driven by a time budget, and if so, what then comes into play is the interaction between the time budget and the project budget. But normally, if the project budget is sufficient to handle a time budget range, then one has some wiggle room regarding things like salaries, # of people on the team and skill, minimal required features vs. nice to have features, and so forth.

It's not a simple picture and I think that post greatly over-simplifies the issues. It's a bit of a mishmash of thoughts, even if I agree with

This is why it is vital that you track developer needs and frustrations and actively get rid of them.
