Yeah, I entirely agree. I think sports are a good example of this (because in most sports, it&#x27;s much easier to measure performance than in programming).<p>LeBron James, for instance (arguably the greatest basketball player in the world), isn&#x27;t really 2x better at anything compared to other top basketball players. He can&#x27;t run twice as fast or jump twice as high. He&#x27;s just slightly better at everything. Small things can stack to a large degree. Like, how many programmers know the important keyboard shortcuts in their development environment? Obviously it doesn&#x27;t take a genius to learn keyboard shortcuts, but shaving 5 seconds off operations here and there can have a huge effect when you start thinking about how that multiplies in timescales of weeks or months. (Not that knowing keyboard shortcuts makes you a great developer, just saying, seemingly minor advantages can be huge multipliers)
