Yes it can be that high depending on _how you're measuring_. I think this is why the myth has gone on for a long time. It also greatly depends on who you're comparing. Are you comparing Peter Norvig to a 1st year undergraduate, or someone on Peter's team who has around the same experience and skillset?
But I don't want to derail the thread ;)
- abiogenesis 6y agoFair enough, but the problem is you can't always find a team full of people "who has around the same experience and skillset as Peter Norvig". That's basically what "The Mythical Man-Month" (the origin of the 10x developer) says: "Always recruit star programmers if you can, but most of the time you can't. Therefore learn how to best utilise the average ones."
