[...] 一个好的程序员比一个普通的程序员多十倍的生产率。而一个优秀的程序员的生产率则比普通程序员多20-100倍。这并不是夸张（自从上世纪60年代的研究一直表明这是一个事实）。一个糟糕的程序员并不只是没有产出的——他们并不仅是完成不不工作，而且还会制造出大量的让别人头痛并要去解决的麻烦。 [...]

Excellent article! I happened upon it while searching for some information on productivity. As a programmer, I have seen this type of creativity, efficiency and productivity factors. I would have to consider myself a 2 with some qualities of 1 but am not a 3 or higher. I mostly do in house development that requires creativity and usually efficiency. Unfortunately uninformed deadline decisions force creativity or efficiency to be compromised. Having management that understands the information in this article and how artificially short deadline compromise the end result are as important as the programmers doing the work. A stressed out programmer is not a productive programmer and a programmer without a realistic deadline can be lazy.
