>Yes, by definition there will always be an average. But "average" for employed s/w devs should differ to national average - you can still expect developers to maintain certain standards, and that higher-ups will perform better (than say, the average s/w grad). I dont disagree. The article to me reads differently. Like the author was digging for 'failures of a developer' but only proposed issues that are for sure failures of the company. I expect the entire article is horseshit. A scenario that was invented in this dude's mind. Out of interest I just checked out the authors other articles. Topics ive noticed is Emotional Intelligence, burnout, racial/sexual discrimination, and performance reviews. This guy has little to no clue about the tech side. He doesn't understand maintaining standards or how any of the software development process works.
