“The difference between the best worker on computer hardware and the average may be 2 to 1, if you're lucky. With automobiles, maybe 2 to 1. But in software, it's at least 25 to 1. The difference between the average programmer and a great one is at least that. The secret of my success is that we have gone to exceptional lengths to hire the best people in the world. And when you're in a field where the dynamic range is 25 to 1, boy, does it pay off.” PeopleIfsWorldMayDoeDifferencesPaySecretBoysGoneFieldsLuckyComputerWorkersAverageRangeLengthSoftwareExceptionalAutomobileProgrammersGreat OnesHardwareSecret Of My Success Author:Steve Jobs
