quickly. Not all hackers are superprogrammers, but many are.
(Productivity can vary from one programmer to another by three orders of
magnitude. For example, one programmer might be able to write an average
of 3 lines of working code in one day, while another, with the proper
tools, might be able to write 3,000. This range is astonishing; it is
matched in very few other areas of human endeavor.) The term <span class="firstterm">superprogrammer</span> is more commonly used within
such places as IBM than in the hacker community. It tends to stress naive
measures of productivity and to underweight creativity, ingenuity, and
getting the job <span class="emphasis"><em>done</em></span> &#8212; and to sidestep the
question of whether the 3,000 lines of code do more or less useful work
than three lines that do the <a href="../R/Right-Thing.html"><i class="glossterm">Right Thing</i></a>. Hackers
tend to prefer the terms <a href="../H/hacker.html"><i class="glossterm">hacker</i></a> and
<a href="../W/wizard.html"><i class="glossterm">wizard</i></a>.</p></dd><div class="navfooter"><hr/><table width="100%" summary="Navigation footer"><tr><td width="40%" align="left"><a accesskey="p" href="superloser.html">Prev</a> </td><td width="20%" align="center"><a accesskey="u" href="../S.html">Up</a></td><td width="40%" align="right"> <a accesskey="n" href="superuser.html">Next</a></td></tr><tr><td width="40%" align="left" valign="top">superloser </td><td width="20%" align="center"><a accesskey="h" href="../index.html">Home</a></td><td width="40%" align="right" valign="top"> superuser</td></tr></table></div></body></html>
