A software dev team requires far more one-on-one interaction between &quot;faculty members&quot; than teaching does (where faculty are the ones producing the software and the students are the users).<p>And in any case, if someone on a dev team got significantly better numbers by bucking the trends, I would be obligated to try and understand their methods and help them gain greater acceptance. It doesn&#x27;t make sense to remove someone who gets results. It makes sense to integrate them.
