Re: The Problem with Programming

People with "exceptional skills" do normally not fit well in a
production environment. You have to distinguish between production and
invention.

Most of the world wide programming is plain production.
If you are an inventor, with "exceptional skills", you'd better find a
start-up, a game-manufacturer or just start you own business.

But it's not all about "inventors", there *are* developers out there who
have
superior problem-solving skills relative to their co-workers, and I think
that
is the group of developers he is referring to. The "superstar" programmers
who are more productive, knowledgeable, easier to train, and more efficient
than the rest of them.
