Hmm Mr Graham

Paul Graham seems to have upset a few small minded people. http://tim.littlebluefrog.com/archives/000292.html

I think most of the aggro around this article is from people who are probably the best programmer they know ( real or imagined ) and thus think of themselves as great or almost great. When Paul says great, he means GREAT, as in if you are 3-5-7 times better than your team-mates, GREAT programmers are 10-100x better than you.

I'm probably not a GREAT programmer, I'm sure I could play the roll for a while though.... :-)
