A smart accountant once told said that the answer to “How much money did you make?” is always, “Who wants to know?” If it’s an investor, the answer is “A lot.” If it’s a customer, the answer is “A little.” If it’s the IRS, the answer is “None.”
Same thing with programmers. The answer to “Who is a good programmer?” is always, “Who wants to know?”
