Writing software is hard. To quote Douglas Crockford "Writing software is the hardest thing you can do."

So if as a team you are able to, manage client expectations, deliver on schedule, build a project that works to specifications, has good UI/UX, has a low user learning curve, meets performance requirements (obamacare site), is well received by users, I'd say your team is pretty great.

I know a lot more people who write software well than can guard Lebron James well.

Then how about choosing a higher threshold than writing software well? How many programmers do you know who are above John Carmack's level, for example?
