This seems contrary to my experience and expectations, although maybe the word "strongly" is what makes it true. > The inherent traits have a lot to do with intelligence and other thinking patterns that we can’t (or don’t yet know how to) identify and teach.

I've had employees start as net negative contributors, and then grow into solid positive contributors over time as they learned and developed their skills. Either way, the explanatory factors seem like the most interesting thing to talk about: what makes one engineer more productive than another?
