You also have a problem that a team can benefit from people who are less productive as coders, but more productive at paperwork, organizing, mentoring, meetings, etc. I’ve seen several teams fire less productive coders and then the team fell apart into individually good coders. That teams require a blend of capabilities and personalities is anathema to the “everyone a widget” mentality of most corporations — but remains persistently true.
