[colug-432] Computer Programmer Productivity Ratio

[jep200404 at columbus.rr.com]

A recent talk with someone revealed that they were incredulous 
about there being an order of magnitude difference in 
productivity between good and mediocre programmers. 

A simple web search led to interesting content about the issue. 
After sending it privately, I realized it deserved broader 
exposure and discussion.
