So y’all don’t disagree with the main point.

There are some specific individual engineers who will get a specific individual task, faster than some other specific engineers.

If those same specific engineers get done many general tasks faster than another group of specific engineers on general tasks than they are just better in general. If some other specific task gets done by the other specific engineers better then it is just different domains.

Either way the individuals matter.

So a fast programmer is necessarily better than one who takes a little more time but pushes out stabler code?
Touché, same quality just one done twice as fast let’s say. Just a hypothetical.
