Nope, same job titles. And no, not necessarily the best programmers. Sure, some of them are/were somewhat better to begin with, but by providing them with more growth prospects you're widening the gap. Edit: I mean, sure, I'd give the difficult problems to the best engineers WHEN there's a tight time constraint or when it's something that only they can do. But difficult problems are not the only growth prospects in tech.
