So you're saying that Washington DC and Silicon Valley are different bubbles.

@uberPhil: I'm in Hungary, so I'm not a bubble boy =)

Pretty much.. But my bubble is better then your bubble! :).

FWIW I am a "programmer".

This list also doesn't take necessity into account. Is "A" programmer better then "B" programmer if "B" programmer has never had to derive their own programming language while "A" programmer had this requirement or need?

This entire concept is just silly to me.
