by that rationale, programmers are a commodity with a range of skill levels. right?

  Never really thought about it that way, but yes, that definition fits. Some are amazingly elite, some are mediocre, and everything in between. It's what led to lots of development jobs being outsourced to India and similar. Thankfully though it seems that trend is reversing because businesses are finding out what they gain in cost savings is quickly eaten up by lack of quality.

  yeah and that's why some programming activities were outsourced to lower wage countries (low end of the 'range' you refer to) a while ago - and still is.
