Speaking as an office drone who is docile and does what he's told and has minimum intellectual curiosity with regards to the software he's tasked with building, I don't get much done compared to the superstars around here who can put out 3000 lines of code a week, building out entire new features and workflows from scratch with beautiful, clean, well-organized code. I disagree with the suggestion that superstars (a.k.a. extremely productive and capable coders) do poorly on ordinary work.
