Being the Averagest

I think this is the best explanation I’ve found so far on where my competive streak has gone (in terms of programming, not grades)..

Maybe we don’t do it because we don’t have the equivalent of a GPA for engineers. If we had such a number — let’s call it PNQ for “Productivity ‘N’ Quality” — then SDEs would immediately begin competing to improve their PNQ. But it doesn’t appear to be possible to measure or compute a fine-grained PNQ value for an SDE. I think you can measure someone’s skills, but that’s really more a measure of potential than performance.
