A huge part of the market is hilarious bad. It's insane. People graduate from school and can barely program, and even after years they don't get a whole lot better.
So yeah, absolutely there are people 7x better.
- david38 5y agoYes, people often think of the baseline as good. This may be true in fields where people only do it for love, like programming back in the day. The absolute dominance of computing has created such a draw that the average is in the gutter. Something as simple as pointers is beyond the skill of untold thousands. We don’t have the gatekeepers that medicine and law do, so what to do? Pay more, make more interesting work, etc to filter out the cream, or rather, the previously decent.
