Most programmers are average, that's the definition of average. It's like saying in five years most people will still be average.

- yen223 14y ago"Of course most programmers will still be average, by definition. The problem is that the average level of quality and productivity probably won't have changed all that much." -- from the article.
- vincentkriek 14y agoWell, not really. If we look at programmers by skill level and number that skill level from 0-9. If you have 100 "5ers", than the average is 5. And yes, than most programmers are average. If you have 50 "1s" and 50 "9s", the average will still be 5, but no one is average. Then again, I don't think that is what he meant.
