Are we done with having original thoughts now? Why was this written? Programming bloggers that are in some kind of management or, especially, founders write this exact same post 100 times a day ... We get it ... The "20x rock star progammer" meme is real and we have to pay attention !!!!
Ok, whatever. Stop talking about it. I think it is probably true that great programmers are order of magnitude BUT please don't flame over that because I don't care.
However, why do most of these CRUD projects think rock stars want to work for them or why do they think they are doing "really important stuff" when they are really just doing CRUD, and in some cases plain old boring CRUD.
Anyway, this whole concept, true or not is just cliche at this point.
