The best solution is to incentivise investment by setting its tax rate to 0. That's what Trump's cash-flow tax would have done. Higher taxes on the money printing ventures (Google ads etc.), lower taxes on start-ups and companies developing new products. That would be besides all of the other benefits like preventing profit-shifting.
Maybe if Silicon Valley wasn't so intensely ideological it would have backed the right horse when it came to tax policy. I have very little sympathy here because I think most software developer salaries really are 'development', the problem isn't the classification of developer salaries, it's that the current corporation tax is dumb.
