One the main issues with such collectivist argument is that programming is more than solely 'programming'.
A great developer innovates, organizes, leads and motivates other programmers in a way others are not able to do. Kaplan-Moss is a perfect example of it.
For example, maybe, it's true that anyone is able to build a CRUD website.
However, maybe, not everyone is able to start and manage an open-source project.
- Kurtz79 11y agoNot really, programming is 'solely' programming, as in the ability to generate code that is reliable, readable, well organized, efficient, etc... . What you are talking about is programmers that in addition to their technical skills have also leadership and management capabilities, which make them absolutely invaluable in a company, but not necessarily more skilled or "talented" at programming than others.
