True or false: The median programmer is most economically valuable (ie in terms of what the market prices their labor at) embedded in workgroups/teams/orgs of ~50-500. Better programmers are more valuable in smaller orgs down to 1-2. Below-median ones in 500+ HC body shops.

I think the more important dimensions are generalist-specialist and seniority, not some fixed measure of talent. Senior generalists can be CTO to a vc backed startup.

A junior generalist will be pretty much lost in a small team and get better returns in a larger company. A junior specialist might do just fine in a more narrow environment, with fewer team members

What is a junior specialist though? If they’ve acquired enough skill to specialize, are they still junior?

Someone who studied bioinformatics and starts right out of college at a binformatics conpany is a specialist. A business student who also did web development is a junior generalist.
