I...don't know about that. I've worked with several programmers who were great at getting something up and running, but we're kind of crap at going deeper--adding depth, maintaining. I'd go as far as to say they typically had an attitude of "I got it up and running, mission accomplished!" Maybe they need to get closer to that 1000 mark to learn the value of planning for the long term, making something you can continue to build on, etc.
