The majority of developers are 0.1x or worse. It's Price's law.
For every passionate and productive developer, there are 10 more who coast and do the bare minimum to not be fired. This has been true in every single organization I've been part of.
- octorian 7y agoAnd the majority of these have so little presence in places like this, that its easy to forget that they exist at all. Heck, when I joined my first large-team software development project at work, I was flabbergasted at how many "numb-nuts" there were. This is because the online world of armchair authorities pretended those people didn't even exist, and thus raised the bar so high that it made me believe I wasn't even worthy of owning a keyboard.
