Reminds me of Landau's logarithmic rating of physicists by productivity from 5 to 0, with 0 being Newton, 0.5 Einstein, etc.

This isn't general enough to apply to computer scientists, nor do I intend it as an all-purpose ranking for software engineers. It's an approximate measure of a generalist's professional development. It's not really applicable to, say, machine learning experts.
