But then the best extroverts will want to work with the best introverts and vice versa, so the introverts still have to "sell" themselves!

Or the best extroverts will seek out the best introverts. If you are selling something, you want to sell the best product around - it makes your life easier - so you find the best possible thing to sell.

Right, but how do they know who the best introverts are if the best introverts are not marketing themselves in one way or another?

I keep expecting to see a win-win industry where introverts with skills revenue share with extroverts who can sell their skills. Specialization is a good thing, it seems inefficient for people who don't enjoy networking to need to do it in order to make money.

But isn't that how most companies no matter how big or small operate? You have the developers creating and the sales team selling?

Yep, but it isn't how the market for developer skills works. Seems like there's probably a reason companies do it the way they do.
